I heard today that this is now fully booked, anyone planning on going who hasn't already booked should check with the organisers beforehand. There must be quite a bit of work involved with arranging events like this with three overseas speakers, plant sales and auction etc so it's good to see that there is still good support for these events.

Looking forward to meeting all 60 attendees next weekend at one of the best events of this year. As Stirling says, "It will be a cracker!"
