This year North Dorset CPRE, the Countryside Charity, also known as the Campaign to Protect Rural England, will be holding their AGM will be at 5.30pm on Tuesday 26th March at Clayesmore School, DT11 8LL.

The speaker will be George Hosford, whose talk will be on “The Future of Farming in North Dorset”. It should be very interesting given the challenging times for farming in recent years, and the uncertain times ahead.

George and his brother Dougal farm 2,000 acres around Durweston. They are well known for their high environmental standards, and focus on conservation. George was recently Chair of NFU Dorset, and is passionate about educating people about farming.

A warm invitation to the AGM and Talk is extended to members and non-members alike. We would be most grateful though if you can confirm your attendance with names of attendees to me at ruperthardy1@gmail.com
