We are pleased to announce we are relocating our events to The Roman Way Hotel in Cannock. A short distance from our last venue, with improved facilities and excellent motorway and road networks.

Please make yourselves familiar with the venue location—we don’t want you to miss out!

New Venue: The Roman Way Hotel, Watling Street, Cannock, Staffordshire, WS11 1SH

The unique series of evening seminars provides an invaluable opportunity to explore key current rural topics for 2019. This is a series of five consecutive Monday evenings which can be attended individually, or as a series. Full attendance can give 15 hours or more CPD / Lifelong Learning and provides an excellent networking opportunity.

The lectures are organised by SURVEYORS RECAP LTD, which is a non-profit making company aiming to broaden the knowledge of fellow rural professionals. The lectures will be of particular benefit for RICS and CAAV members and are suitable for professionals of all levels of experience. We also extend a warm welcome to farmers, lawyers, accountants, farm secretaries and other rural practitioners.
