Yes it was a fab day I can't believe how quickly it went, I am glad there was a good turnout and a success bodes well for the future to hold more goaty meetings there's always something to speak about with goats - keep an eye out for potential speakers or suggest goaty topics you want to hear more about for the next one! good to meet like minded people and enthusiastic potential goat keepers starting their research before taking the plunge into the wonderful world of goat keeping whatever type of goat they choose.

Thank you so much to all the organisers. This was a very informative day, well organised and certainly worth going to. Lots of very friendly knowledgeable people who were happy to take the time to answer any questions put to them. Well done and I hope another event like this is organised very soon.
