Episode 437 (4th April 1978)

==Plot==
Matt is worried about one of the cows that seems poorly. Joe reassures him but Matt feels they should have asked the vet's advice. Annie appears and there is more chat, with Joe now thinking that it might be serious. They will ring the vet for assistance. As plans continue to be put in place for the outing to Skegness, Sam is appointed as the organising secretary. In the village hall, Donald introduces Sam as the new secretary, causing a few raised eyebrows. But when Sam makes his maiden speech, there is consternation. He plans to scrap the outing to Skegness!
