Sadly, due to a number of factors, we are unable to host a viable conference in the Northern Region and have made the decision to cancel this event.
While disappointing, hosting the events under these circumstances would have been counterproductive. Our thanks go out to those who purchased tickets and full refunds will be issued.
BIGGA is currently undertaking a period of consultation within the greenkeeping industry that has the potential to reshape our membership offering. Regional education opportunities play a key part in that and you can offer your perspective on this and all other aspects of BIGGA membership by completing our member survey, which is open until Friday 22 November. Complete the 10-minute survey here.
Registration is also open for our annual gathering in Harrogate, the BIGGA Turf Management Exhibition, and our leading education programme, Continue to Learn. Head to www.btme.org.uk to find out more and get involved.
