The Council meets twice a year in the Spring and Autumn, and
is attended by three officials (Chairman, Secretary/Treasurer and PRO)
and up to two (voting) representatives from each constituent member club.
In addition, the KC Breed Liaison Officer attends all meetings as an "observer".
"Observers" are welcome to attend council meetings, however
they may only participate in discussion at the Chairman's discretion or
by Council's request, but without voting rights.
