ABOUT THE IRISH COB SOCIETY (ICS)

STUD BOOK MEMBERS

As the Irish Cob Society (ICS) is now promoted as a breeding organization and no as The Irish Cob Society Ltd (a "members club" offering limited liability to members), anyone who registers an Irish Cob or Irish Cob Part Bred in an ICS Stud Book in Ireland from 1st January 2008 automatically becomes made an ICS Stud Book Member.      ICS Stud Book members ARE NOT members of the ICS aquired legal personality (the limited liability company - Ltd) which means that ICS Stud Book members cannot be held liable should the aquired legal personality (the limited company - Ltd) be wound up for any reason. This is veiwed as the ultimate protection offered to ICS Stud Book breeders.  ICS Stud Book members can train to become ICS inspectors and judges and can establish ICS Stud Book committees for the purpose of arranging for shows and events to be held for Irish Cobs and Irish Cob Part Breds.   ICS has planned to hold an annual seminar for ICS Stud Book members and those interested in becoming ICS Stud Book members which will be a valuable opportuninty for breeders to meet up, learn more about their breed, have "a say", give ideas and form ICS event committees etc. 

 

 

 

ABOUT THE IRISH COB SOCIETY (ICS)

 

The Irish Cob Society (ICS) was established and approved as a breeding organization in Ireland in 1998, to maintain the Stud Book of the Origin of the Breed for Irish Cobs.  
 

ICS DECISION TO DROP LIMITED (LTD) FROM GENERAL USE

Because from 2002 the Irish Cob Society offered "open membership" the Irish Cob Society (ICS) chose to acquire a legal personality which would protect it's members by ensuring them LIMITED LIABILITY (Ltd - limited risk).  The name the Irish Cob Society, with Limited (Ltd) added, was promoted by ICS to show members and potential members that they would be protected (had limited liability of £1) should the company be wound up for any reason.

From 1st January 2008 the Irish Cob Society (ICS) decided that the Irish Cob Society would no longer offer membership of the aquired legal personality (the limited company - Ltd), on an "open" basis and that the Irish Cob Society (ICS) would no longer be promote as a "member club",  but once again as the breeding organization THE IRISH COB SOCIETY (ICS) originally established and approved in 1998 in Ireland to maintain the Stud Book of the Origin of the Breed for Irish Cobs.   That being the case, ICS decided (in accordance with company law) that membership of the aquired legal personality (the limited company - Ltd) would no longer be on an "open" basis and that the Directors would in future decide who could be members.   The Irish Cob Society (ICS) decided that it would no longer be called (referred to as), or use it's aquired legal personality title The Irish Cob Society Ltd (ICS Ltd) except in areas concerning legal matters. 

 

THE FOLLOWING ICS DECISION WERE MADE

RE: THE IRISH COB SOCIETY LTD (THE ACQUIRED LEGAL PERSONALITY - WITH LTD ADDED)

1. That the Irish Cob Society Ltd (ICS Ltd) will only be used in areas concerning legal matters.

2. That the name The Irish Cob Society which is registered as a limited liability company in Ireland since 2002 will be defended by ICS from unauthorized use.

RE: THE IRISH COB SOCIETY (THE BREEDING ORGANIZATION)

That the Irish Cob Society will no longer be promoted as having acquired legal personality offering limited liability to members (as a "members club"), but will revert to promoting the organization as The Irish Cob Society (ICS), the breeding organization which was originally established and approved in Ireland in 1998, for the purpose of maintaining the Stud Book of the Origin of the Breed for Irish Cobs - through the following means:-

1. FORMS - By removing Limited (Ltd) from the heading of all ICS forms (including application and inspection forms etc).

2. PASSPORTS - By continuing to print The Irish Cob Society clearly on the cover of every passport issued, as has always been done by ICS in the case of every passport issued by ICS.

3. LOGO - By continuing to use The Irish Cob Society Logo which has been exposed to the public by ICS from 2000.
4. STAMP - By continuing to use The Irish Cob Society stamp, as used by ICS from 2000, which contains the words
The Irish Cob Society, Dublin, Ireland.

5. WEBSITE - By removing Limited (Ltd) from name of the site, which means that The Irish Cob Society is no longer promoted as a "member club" with limited liability for members.   By removing Limited (Ltd) from the name of the website, The Irish Cob Society is once again promoted as, the breeding organization which was first approved in Ireland 1998, to maintain the Stud Book of the Origin of the Breed for the Irish Cob.
        The name of the website www.irishcobsociety.com has always clearly shown from 2000 the organization which is:-
                                                           
THE IRISH COB SOCIETY
