IKKPS Membership Benefits Update

As you may know from following our Facebook page – International KuneKune Pig Society or the group page, we had a recent IKKPS membership vote. This has resulted in some important IKKPS membership benefits changes and membership level changes. The membership has elected to offer a membership with IKKPS that includes registrations free with your membership! They also elected to still have the membership option for those that wish to “pay as you go” registrations as well. Changing membership to those that do not wish to change during their year membership with IKKPS would have been unfair to them. IKKPS tries to be fair to everyone equally and I am delighted the membership voted for this.

While we are not Burger King, our members can still have it their way in IKKPS. Most importantly, membership makes the decisions in IKKPS.
