Have just been told an extra date has been added for Launceston on 1st Feb or which ever is the Wednesday. Will need to book this on Monday but have persuaded hubby to come along too. Its a shock that they are coming this far south west.

Has anybody else booked for these or anybody know anything about them.

And one in Exeter! Only 12 miles from me. Will I see anyone from TAS there?

I tried to book the Exeter one and it's been changed to Shepton Mallet.

I'll try and find out more about the one in Launceston, that's nearer me.

They'll be run by Odelle Walker, who knows her commercial pig stuff, and has a good understanding of smallholder needs. She presents well, and has good info, backed by her practical experience (she worked on a large outdoor herd amongst other things). The agenda is Defra's so is heavy on the legal and compliance side, but as free you can't complain, and if you can easily make the time, think you'll find it interesting.

Booked husband into the one in South Lincs ( just across the A1 from where we live.....free and convenient, can't be bad.) I will also go if I can get time off work.
They are doing one for goats, but on the same day in Peterborough - tough if you have both and live in lincs.)

As lincs is not until Feb, it would be good if we could get feedback posted here.

Look forward to meeting you there Sylvia.

It's Gillian Dixon's place. The Todds are over Honiton way I think.
