Just wanted to say thanks for organizing yesterdays event Sally & Linda - it was great to have an extended Q & A session with a vet/farmer  :thumbsup:

Thank you to those who did come along on Friday ..... we had a really useful discussion session with the vet.  Shame more people weren't there.

If you are interested in a meet in the new year can you let me know what time of day is best for you and where you are so a central venue can be arranged.

Hi there

It was an informative evening for us and nice to put faces to names.
The room we used on Friday was very suitable.... and reasonable...... and available....

Sounds like you had a great event planned. I was away at the Royal County of Berkshire Show (won Champion of Champions again - over the moon!) last weekend, otherwise would have loved to have come.
Really glad you lot are making a go of it. I hope we can do something similar in the south-east some time in the future. Just a thought - have you considered a day-long event on someone's farm? Maybe with some vet input (for a fee, of course) on practical tasks etc? Might be an opportunity for those further afield to join in if it was a whole day.

Liz,
I think that sounds like a good idea.
My patch isn't big enough to hold day long interest and my veg patch would only cover about 10 mins  :)  but if there is soeone out there who thinks they have the right place then perhaps we could put something together.

Great Idea ..... and had thought visiting each other's smallholdings was probably the way forward.

Happy to host here ...............   :thinking:  and could visit yours for tea Sally?
