Training and Courses

Well, you'll see I've been busy! There are lots of courses for you to choose from for the Autumn - with favourites reappearing such as Cheese Making and Lambing and dates set for Follow-on Goats, Brewing and Renewable Energy. Unfortunately I've had to postpone indefinitely our proposed course on Rabbit and Squirrel Trapping - apologies for this. I'm on the look-out for something to replace it - all suggestions/pointers welcome. Thank you. Don't forget that if you don't find what you're looking for here then do give me a ring or email me - and also have a look on the website in the Training section where you will find 'Other Training Organizations' which may offer what you need.
