2015 Course Details
It will once again be held at our usual venue of Moulton College near Northampton. We will again have use of the new fully modernised facilities for lectures, meals and late night bar entertainment. We have used these new facilities for two years now and everyone agrees what an improvement they are compared to the old buildings and layout.
Eddy Harris explains what plants should have been first, second and third.
The price this year remains £140 fully inclusive (£50 deposit). For those who have not been before, this covers full board from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. All you have to pay extra for are any drinks etc from the bar. All buildings have full disabled access with lifts available if required.
