I am hearing on the grapevine that the small BHS Horsebox has been stolen!!! Anyone got any more information???
Yes - DS has gone with a really smarmy song of praise from Tim Lord, who is now Interim Chairman for 2 months while they get sorted. To quote from the e-mail sent out:
"
The election result was as follows:
*Only one candidate had progressed to the election, therefore in accordance with the British Horse Society Constitution, Sarah Simpson was elected as BHS Specialist Trustee, Education.
- BHS Specialist Trustee - Education: Sarah Simpson*
- BHS Trustee - Sally McCarthy received 1467 votes
- BHS Trustee - Tim Lord received 1225 votes
- BHS Trustee - Fran Mason received 1143 votes
- BHS Trustee - Anita Quigley received 1141 votes
- BHS Trustee - Brenda Watson received 736 votes
A total of 2373 individual members voted with each member having the choice to cast up to three votes."
So Sally McCarthy got the most votes and Fran Mason was hot on Tim Lord's heels. Interesting that as Sally McCarthy didn't get past the Nominations' Committee last year (and the whys of that are ANYONE'S guess.)
Hi Janet - We are hearing that there will be a delay in getting new CE as candidates are dropping out. The old CE got sacked, we mean, 'resigned', almost six months ago. Delay is yet another indication of lack of professional conduct and poor judgement of trustees. But another example is the overnight loss of the insurance company sponsored castration clinic horse box. If some sharp eyed member hadn't seen it, it would be half way across Europe by now, as no one had thought to put a tracker on it??? If it wasn't so tragic the BHS reminds my husband of a carry on film without the laughs

Interesting to hear that one of the first things the new Prime Minister talked about in his opening speech was animal welfare. Apparently the new Chairman's bestie is Boris, so are we going to see a new dawn of the BHS actually doing something meaningful and horse-life-changing welfare actions like the plight of horses in riding schools outside of the BHS membership? Not going to hold our breath. Wonder if the new CE will do a Boris on the current Directors, ie move them on to new homes?
ETA - and apparently the lorry HAS been recovered - someone spotted it rather quickly.
Another BHS C*CK UP. Tonight one Eleanor from the fundraising team has emailed ALL members congratulating them on registering as a Platinum Rider. Dear god, can't Head Office do anything right. If us volunteers made mistakes like this, we would be sacked. Correction, when some of our number did make an error like this we were sacked. Come on new Chairman hurry up and get the CEO started and hands on the reins please!
I got the email as well. I updated my details recently so i getting all sorts of stuff. I think the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing, someone needs to get a gripe.I'm a member and have not received any such email. Not too sure how you'd even have access to this information anyhow.
Oh I got that one today and wondered what I’d signed up for and totally forgotten about 😂 Reassuring to know my memory hasn’t gone yet. Less reassuring that their data security is this poor...
I got it too, and I resigned.
It would seem petty if they hadn’t fired volunteers for breaches that the ICO wasn’t concerned about when told.
This has caused great upset when really it could have been handled in a far more positive way, and they have lost more volunteers because of it.

This ^
lol, I'm quite hurt I didn't get it - I resigned 4 years ago. But someone who'd left 20 years ago got it. The apologies started coming out after it appeared on the FB Group. One wonders if THEY reported their error to the ICO - they should have. (As should anyone who has left and still got it - this is a GDPR breach, I think - the number is 0303 123 1113.
As far as I am aware it was a diagram of the management structure of BHS HO, with peoples names on, which was already available somewhere else. A bit like if you worked in a school there would be a list of what teachers covered departments.what rules had the voluteers breached?
They are holding old data which they need to dispose of, and using data for purpose it was not collected for, so does that need reporting to the ICO?
