AN EGM convened by members of the Connemara Pony Breeders Society (CPBS) is going ahead, despite the fact the council of the society is refusing to accept its legitimacy.

A requisition calling for the EGM was made on April 16th along with the signatures of over 480 members. According to the articles of association of the CPBS, this would legally compel the council to have called an EGM by May 8th.
