Another chance for forum members to meet up and exchange banter tomorrow in Perth. I'll be going both to the morning's Local Association Secretaries meeting (know there really should be an apostrophe in there but couldn't be bothered) and the afternoon Council meeting. If JohntheFarmer really does turn up maybe someone could point him out and I'll introduce him to the crop protection industry minder in the corner and see if I can get him bunged some bundles of tenners too.* I understand we will have a 15 min presentation by the young man responsible for some of us ramming half-dead bees into RNALater, and who tortures Varroa mites in his spare time (hurray!).
