Egluntyne Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I've booked myself onto this. Click It is a whopping £50, but lunch is included and you get a book evidently ... and a chance to listen to the famous Edward Boothman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witzend Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I initially had a lovely vision of lots of chickens bok-bokking together and setting the world to rights!! Sounds a fab day - unfortunately it clashes with 3 other things already on that day/weekend!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicken bark Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Looks good - unfortunately clashes with my ES birthday party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevmatt Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Than might try and go - you mention a book but not sure if there is a book could not find it on the link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 It was mentioned in an email, as I queried the price of the conference, as it wan't mentioned on the website. No idea what it is though, whether it is a first edition bound in leather and hand tooled with gold inlay, or half a dozen sheets of A4 stapled together.

mostin Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Not that I'm name dropping *cough* but when I next chat to "Eddie" on Facebook or when I see him next Thurs at the Yorkshire show I can ask him for you about it then, and what exactly the book is . I'm sure we'll run run in to him Egluntyne, he's still not forgiven me fir getting first place in our clubs egg show with an egg from a hen he gave me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I'm sure we'll run run in to him Egluntyne, he's still not forgiven me fir getting first place in our clubs egg show with an egg from a hen he gave me OR the time you lectured him on how outdated and patronising it was to have a 'ladies class' at a show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a great sense of fun about the whole thing and calls me "Fred" each time he sees me know :rolls: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 This event has been cancelled due to poor ticket sales. Humph. Oh well, to get over it, I shall spend the money saved on some new chickens instead. I do have one or two vacancies for polite, well behaved egg layers. No previous experience necessary.

gongladosh Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 shame it was cancelled. £50 seems rather a lot though (even with food) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Still less than half the price of that one at Le Manoir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hi sorry for only just answering this! So sorry Egluntyne I should have got into gear for this one but to be honest that annoying black dog has come back for a visit again and making it difficult for me to get things organised grrrrr. Going to kick him into touch, and I WILL be ok for countryside live. Looking forward to seeing your new girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Sorry to hear it. I hope the dog is soon muzzled. :Grrr: Rotten for you. Looking forward to Countryside Live. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
