It is my sad task to inform those members who may have known her that our president's wife Leslie passed away in the early hours of today; Leslie had unfortunately been ill and unable to attend Donkey Breed Society events for the last few years, but will be much missed nevertheless. Leslie will be long remembered as a popular figure in the showrings in the West country during the 1980s and 90s, showing donkey under her 'Cedarshade'prefix, and for her management of Bray Trading, the first DBS shop. I am sure all members extend their sympathies to Donald at this time.
