MAY OPEN DAY
May 17th with guest speakers Libby Harrison and Rob Hughes.
The event was held for the first time at the Ravensworth Arms, Lamesley NE11 0ER which is situated under one mile from junction 67 (Team Valley) off the A1.
It's fair to say everyone had a great experiance with two quality speakers in Libby and Rob Hughes who both give excellant presentations. Thank you Libby and rob.
We must also thank Tom Luke, Phil Reaney and Robin Ford who donated birds for the auction which allowed the event to more or less break even on the day.
We now look forward to seeing how the NBS Council are going to top this!
