It was good to see some vibrant younger speakers like Dan Basterfield and the 2 new lecturers that got their lectureship exams

Food is too rich/heavy for people that are not getting a lot of exercise. Must have put up 1/2 a stone in the week. The only exercise I got was the evening walk to the huntsmans inn and a swim in the pool one evening .
The activities in the evening time leave a bit of a gap in the programme.

Must say it ran very efficiently, like clockwork really , the organisers must be complimented on it .

On the down side the exams are ran for intermediate & scientific during that week , which means that the candidates miss a lot of the lectures/ workshops . I think the education board need to look at having those written exams both senior & intermediate on in March so people are freed up to get to the lectures . On top of that trying to study for them in the height of the beekeeping season is next to impossible.

Over all very positive feedback

Well I didn't gain nor lose any weight, a matter of asking for small portions. I gather the Education Board is considering having the Senior Exams available in provincial centres.
As I was examing, which were done in the evening after supper,I didn't notice the gap in the evenings but I though that looking at the program there was something on each evening.
