Six Events Across the day
Cornwall and West Cornwall Beekeepers’ Associations are pleased to welcome beekeepers from across the South West to our convention. This year, we have moved a little further East, to the Burrell Theatre of Truro School. We have presentations for the intermediate beekeeper through to the leading edge of academic research, and a large exhibition space with traders and exhibitors from Beekeeping charities and other special interest groups associated with the craft.
Workshop
There are two main speakers to book end the day, with two split sessions each before and after lunch.
PLEASE NOTE The photographing bees workshop is limited to 20 persons; to attend please sign up at registration for this session. See the Programme for more details.
A chance to catch up
It's always a pleasure to meet up with friends and colleagues to discuss all things apiary. The programme includes plenty of time and opportunity to do so over a convivial refreshment. Time too to browse for those specific books or items of beekeeping equipment that you always meant to get hold of. Oh, and a chance to grab some raffle tickets for an array of beekeeping prizes.
Exhibitions and Trade Stands
There's a room dedicated to Trade Stands and exhibitions, (Classroom 1), where we are delighted to welcome a wide range of exhibitions and Trade stands.
Musical welcome by Bagas Crowd
Bagas Crowd is a fiddle community group based in Truro, led by Frances Bennett, playing traditional Cornish tunes, to give your day a proper Cornish welcome.
