Hmm, I didnt know there was two seperate organisations and think you are probably right!

BTW it wasnt James

Thought so.
Yes, there are two breeding groups in Cornwall. As well as two distinct associations as you know. West Cornwall and the rest of the Cornwall.

May I say, there is a somewhat outspoken character down there, who does seem to border on arrogance over modesty.

BIPCo only has a few people actively involved and I work with most of them and they're all as practical as they come and certainly wouldn't impose.
As I say, they view it as an experiment essentially and don't profess to have all the answers; be doing it perfectly; or say there is no other way.

It was such a pleasure not having people forcing their personal opinions on everybody and trying to create arguments that are entirely unnecessary . We really do have a good crowd West of the Tamar. I am pleased to be associated with them.

You obviusly know who I am talking about and I am glad its not just me who has found his attitude somewhat out of order!

My work life is too hectic for me to attend local branch meetings but I will look forward to next years BIPCo gathering and meeting some of the local contributors to this forum.
Cheers

[For want of a better word]

Stiffy... thanks for the update of location.... KERNOW !!!! That'll be Katy County then !

Geologically I believe the West of Cornwall is more closely related rockwise to Newfoundland than the remainder of the British Isles

You sure it was BIPCo and not the West Cornwall lot..the Cornwall Bee Improvement and Bee Breeders Group. http://www.kilty.demon.co.uk/beekeeping/improvement.htm

I see people do not change their personality in 44 years, i was several years behind but on the same course at Imperial
