[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 8208195, member: 42914"] My fourth Groundswell and I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you. I did think that litter was more in evidence than before so maybe more bins round the site. :cry: I liked the number of big banners around the site with the itinery for each venue on them. (y) It was worth hearing Monbiot. The case he makes is spot on, it's his analysis and solutions that aren't. It's a shame he wasn't on a panel with speakers like Jayne Buxton, Diana Rogers or Seth Itzkan to force him to address these issues. I managed to finally get some farming friends to attend after 3 years of trying and they found it utterly fascinating, opening their eyes. (y) Our opening session discussing "Our regenerative journey" went way better than we thought it could with all of us being engaged further by people during the rest of the show to discuss our experience. There is clearly a need for more of that, maybe even in the big top, covering different areas of practice. Maybe a specific session to discuss failures and what was learnt? I suspect there'll be another pitch from the TFF GG next year ;) It would have been fantastic to get 2 DEFRA policy wonks into a panel debate with 2 or 3 leading TFF contributors on the structure and content of SFI with a good audience Q&A session as well. Maybe next year will be the ideal time for that as we will have been running with it for a season then. That would bridge both policy and practice in 1 go and probably be very useful to the agricultural journalists there. We had a good discussion between the group about the scale of the event. Should it continue to grow? Does that risk losing it's feel? My own view is that it's a clear risk. Overall, an unmissable event and worth way more than the entry cost. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please pass our appreciation on to all the team. [/QUOTE]
