Central Scotland Smallholders
« on: November 27, 2011, 11:31:40 pm »
                   Subject: Courses

Please advise me as soon as possible if anyone is interested in either of these courses at Oatridge College. 

Saturday 11th February       Lambing
Saturday 19th May                Forage management covering growing and conserving grass and identifying good and poor quality forage                                               
 
At the moment we have 4 candidates for the lambing course, but it costs us £280 to put it on, so a few more will make it viable.

Annie

Kind Regards,
CSSA Committee

We have 8 for the lambing course, so it will run; and so far 4 for the Land management course - need a couple more for that.

Membership form attached, and check this link regularly for events. Simon Osborne is now events coordinator and we will update the website soon.

On same page.  Agenda under 2011 - technically correct (It's the agenda for the AGM covering the events during  2011) but should say 2012 IMO

If anyone on TAS is coming can you let me know, as I have to give the Ochil View a rough idea of numbers.  I know Rosemary and Dan are coming.

Don't forget:
30th June BBQ at Blackfaulds Farm, Avonbridge, Falkirk, FK1 2JZ, there will be a pig talk by Robert, a pig demo and the chance to participate yourselves with the pigs. Lillian will provide and cook burgers & sausages.

So that we can work out how much meat we need, can you let me know who is coming?

We have venison burgers too, and a pink coleslaw, couscous salad, pasta dish anda  rhubarb crumble - any advance on that?
