I'd be interested to hear how it went?
Turnout?
Answered questions or not?

I guess maybe 150-200 there. Three men from RPID in Perth. THis was their 34th CAP roadshow - spoken to over 5000 people. No-one can say they aren't trying to communicate.

I spoke with one of the RPID guys at the end and asked if they would come to our smallholders conference and do a presentation specifically aimed at smallholders; he said he'd talk to the boss but probably. Will firm up with him on Monday hopefully. By mid-Feb they'll also have more infor on the various SRDP programmes, which they didn't last night.

That was a decent turnout - although I thought that it might have been higher.
I know of a couple of farmers who were planning on going along but not heard their feed back yet.
I know that the Dept have gone to smaller meetings too e.g. EOSF are having a meeting for their members.
Its good that they are happy to come along to the conference too.
