Title: Lambing Course
Post by: VSS on January 07, 2015, 11:27:11 am
We are now taking bookings for our very popular lambing course which will take place from 15th - 19th March.

The course is fully hands on and will give you the confidence to take lambing in your stride. Accommodation and most meals included.

For more information email [email protected], pm me, or have a look a look at our online brochure http://www.viableselfsufficiency.co.uk/brochure.html (http://www.viableselfsufficiency.co.uk/brochure.html)

Never heard anything but really good things about this course. If it was closer, I'd do it.

I was just reading your brochure. I've only ever heard good things about this course too, and my niece might have been tempted (except she may now have decided on a career change  ::)  ). But anyway- I have one teeny quibble. The brochure doesn't give any indication where the course is held, even just the general area or on transport from the accommodation to the farm (my niece is 16 so wouldn't be able to drive). 


As I recall, I think it's Wales you're based, but can't remember off the top of my head. Ahh checked the main website, and it is Wales.

The course is held on our farm - please see contact address on the brochure.

Rosemary - we've had students from John O Groats, Jersey, Belgium, Hungary, the south of France, Republic of Ireland, Benbeccula (to keep the Scottish theme), all over the UK and even a chap from virtually next door. You are making excuses!!!

A few place left so hurry if you are interested - you won't regret it!

This is a BRILLIANT course. We went on it last year and it has really changed the way we do things. Brilliant course and great food. I strongly recommend it.
