All ladies working in the turf industry are invited to attend the Women's Forum at Harrogate Week. There was no meeting at SALTEX this year, so come along on to the Education Suite on the first floor of the Harrogate International Centre (above Hall C) on Tuesday 23rd January from 4.30pm until 5.30pm to hear speaker Frank Newberry talk about 'Managing Upwards…managing your boss'.

There'll also be a presentation on interviewing staff so please, make a note in your diaries and come and join us. It's a great networking opportunity, the ideal time to put names to faces, refreshments will be available and there are plans to go out for a drink in Harrogate town afterwards. Don't worry if you haven't been before - you'll receive a very warm welcome.

For further information, please contact Rosie Hancher at BIGGA on 01347 833800

Not fair!! Doesn’t this contravene the sex discrimination act?

Well, you could organise a Men's Forum if you wish.... but you may need a bigger room!

No Thanks! Yours sounds like much more fun

On a serious note, great idea I hope you get well supported. I look forward to seeing you all in Harrogate

Regards

Paul

Thanks Paul. And if you know any lady greenkeepers, please spread the word!

Hi Paul

Trying to find a way into the ladies forum? Tut tut!!

Well perhaps you should suggest they need a presentation on either traditional greens management or the mighty reds! Either would go well with me!

Hope you are well and I'm looking forward to seeing you in January

Regards

Presume by 'mighty Reds' you mean the FOREST!!!

I had to read that first line twice Ellie.

Thought BIGGA had laid on some sort of 'Escort' service.

As for Managing your Boss... Upwards!

Sorry Ellie, a very cheap shot!

And I consider myself a gentleman??

Maybe time to reconsider and grovel!!

Perhaps we can infiltrate the meeting in disguise.

Do you want to be Florence or Emily?
