FOR A HEALTHIER FUTURE...
Beef Expo
2011
This year Beef Expo was held at Newark showground in Nottinghamshire.
A willing team of helpers, consisting of Sophie Throup from FarmSkills,
Andrew Curwen, Alyson Staines and Iain Richards from XLVets, Sarah
Hughs from Scarsdale, Mike Thorne from Rutland, Hollie Dale and Helen
Worth from Wright and Morten and a brightly coloured juggler, they
set to work with bright green t-shirts and bucket loads of enthusiasm to
attract the crowds.
Visitors were encouraged to participate
in mini-challenges, to learn a new skill
and be given the opportunity to win a
FarmSkills t-shirt; learning to make a halter
out of a piece of rope went down well
along with the art of juggling. All participants
leaving the stand with a new found skill, a
green FarmSkills t-shirt, XLVets pen, literature
and the anticipation of attending a workshop
in their area in the not too distant future.
Helpers on the stand commented that enquiries
for future courses and workshops came from
across the UK, and feedback from past
attendees was very positive ensuring that the
future of FarmSkills is set to grow and grow.
