Following on from last years’ BFREPA meetings. Robert Gooch, BFREPA’s new Director of Policy, has organised open meetings throughout the UK for producers to discuss issues affecting the industry.

Meetings are for members and non-members alike. A speaker from each local office of the AHVLA will be present to answer questions from producers on national and local issues. Hot drinks and sandwiches are provided.

These meetings are a great opportunity for producers to network with other producers in the regions to discuss and share concerns. Each meeting will be attended and hosted by the council member for the relevant area. We look forward to seeing you all there.
