Thank you to all that attended the Rural Conference at Scalford Hall yesterday - what a great day it was.
Who would have thought that we would have been having lunch on the patio on the 1st March!

Presentations and phots will be uploaded soon, so keep an eye out for them.

Well done to both winners, Peter Williams and Ron Simpson, on their weekend breaks, a wonderful prize dontated on the day by Scalford Hall's general manager Bill Dixon.

One week to go to the the Leicestershire Rural Conference 2012. Over 100 people attending and just a few places left, see home page. We're all looking forward to it, it's going to be a good day that brings a range of people from the public, business and private sector together to discuss rural issues.

The team are busy organising the Leicestershire Rural Conference 2012 – we have lots going on this year. The Conference is set to take place amongst the most beautiful rolling fields in Leicestershire at Scalford Hall, Melton. Pencil the 1^st March in your diary!

Taking place on the day we have interactive workshops based around 5 themes, we will hear from Adam Henson (Rural Farmer and BCC Countyfile presenter), and talks will take place around Leicestershire's BIG 7 rural priorities. This is an opportunity for people to influence the further rural activity.

We're very pleased to have this new and revamped version of the oakleaves website going live. Look out for updates over he coming weeks and for the content to grow in the new year as we are able to tell you about all of the exciting projects the LRP is involved in.
