Title: in need of some like minded individuals...
Post by: hjbatchelor on March 05, 2009, 06:41:13 pm

Hi All,

I think one of the most important things about smallholding is friends and contacts you have to either help you out or share experiences with. Therefore i am after people...... :)

I live in Sussex and would like to know if there are any smallholders clubs/groups etc... that meet and have events etc... I would love to make new friends and learn new experiences of people who do anything that might be of interest to smallholders. I dont mind travelling, im not after anything for money or selling something, just to make some friends and meet some people whoever it may be.

Does anyone know of anything that might be of interest to me? Also how would i go about finding info on local events that might be of interest to a smallholder like flower/veg shows, agricultural shows, village days, fun days, competitions etc...

I think this whole thing is much better done with friends. I look forward to your response.

Harry.    :pig:

I agree - although I really like my animals and veg, it's the people that make life great.

Try your local library and also your local feed / seed merchant, gardening centre and ask if you can put up a poster. :farmer:

the local community hall or if you have a really good community shop/post office sometimes can help
