BASE UK AGM & conference next week

[Brisel]

Anyone in here going to this? I'm doing both days.

 

[Clive]

Going to miss it this year for the first time I'm afraid, I'm speaking at an agronomy conference in Ireland

 

[Jim Bullock]

Looks like being a useful couple of days, hope to get to both.

 

[Barleycorn]

I'm going to both days, booked a room at the Premier Inn, looking forward to it. If anyones up for an extended stay there is a brilliant Indian restaurant called Alladdin about a mile from the venue, my daughter used to work nearby and I always tried to get there when visiting. Perhaps TFF members should put a flower in our hair to identify ourselves?!!

 

[dontknowanything]

What's on the agenda? Not a member any more so don't get the fliers.

 

[Will7]

I am going on the first day. Looking forward to hearing about the results from this years base sponsored trials.

 

[RTK Farmer]

Staying over Monday ready for Tuesday and Tues night, looking forward to it.

 

[Captain Mainwaring]

Can't make it this time which is a pain because I'm really interested in John Pawsey's presentation. I did however have a good conversation today about the base conference and apparently much of it will be recorded and available for members to watch via the website.

 

[Crabtree]

Looking at the speaker's, I really must join Base, I did speak to them at groundswell but haven't got round to it. Hopefully the presentations will be available afterwards. I couldn't have attended the Agm anyway due to a 'Zero till study tour' to Jamaica, they certainly don't do a lot of tillage out here , cope with 83" of rain per year and grow some decent coffee and a few other crops, they look pretty happy with it all anyway, that's probably got something to do with the other 'crops' they grow !!!!

I'll be there both days, looking forward to it.

 

[Dan Powell]

I'm there on day 2. Can't make day 1 unfortunately. Also looking forward to John Pawsey's talk as an organic sympathiser.

 

[AF Salers]

There for both days, as others have said really looking forward to it and a good catch up in person with like minded folk

Ditto, I can't make the first day (and couldn't really spare the time for the second day) but am really keen to hear John Pawsey speak, so will be there for day 2
