The meetings were held in the wonderfully historic surrundings of the Royal Agricultural College. Members from all over the Region were present and many stayed on to join SI Cirencester in Dinner at the College.

Thanks to Radio Cornwall and Tiffany Truscott for the interview with President Libby and Ann Truscott on Friday and all our helpers and supporters.
