I recently met with our Norfolk County Chair, Vice Chair and Council Delegate to put together our new County Plan, identifying the key priorities, opportunities and meetings we want to focus on over the coming year. I’ve also been out and about with our local Group Secretaries and branches, helping to develop plans for each of our local areas.
There is a great variety of branch meetings and events already being planned for the year ahead, covering a range of topics that matter to farming businesses across Norfolk. I’d really encourage members to get involved and come along where you can these meetings are a great opportunity to hear the latest from the NFU, raise the issues affecting your business and catch up with other members locally.
A big thank you must also go to the North Walsham office, who kindly supported and hosted our Back British Farming Day activity at the Aylsham Show. It was a fantastic opportunity to engage with members of the public and talk about the importance of British farming and the role our farmers play in producing food and looking after the countryside.
Preparations are also well underway for our Norfolk County AGM, taking place on 4 November at Park Farm Hotel. This year, we’ll be joined by NFU Vice President Robyn Munt , and the evening will be a chance to hear more about the work the NFU has been doing on members’ behalf over the past year, as well as giving you the opportunity to ask questions and feed into our priorities.
There’s lots to look forward to over the coming months, and I hope to see many of you at one of our upcoming meetings or events
