Jane who comes from Hertfordshire is now in the process of building her own little pig empire and plans to expand in 2005 - Good Luck Jane and keep those pig gates well locked and secure........ no more escapees in the wood please!! |

During 2007 and at the start of 2008 we have had an increasing number of African course members who are living in the UK but are planning to return to Africa to set up pig farms in their own countries |

How's this for happiness. Francesca Redfern from Nottinghamshire shows her delight at holding one of our newly born Gloucestershire Old Spots piglets |

Our dear Middle White sow apparently bored by it all on our course held Saturday 31st July 2004. Clearly with course members from Cumbria, Norfolk, Wiltshire Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Gloucestershire, Cheshire and North Yorkshire all on the same course it just became too much for her ...... great photo by one of our course members. |
 |
All the way to Scotland. Ian Cruikshank from Perthshire gave his wife a surprise 'Gift Pack' and they joined us on our course on Saturday 24th July. The course was only half the surprise ..... the other a delightful 'Potbellied Pig' that they took back to Scotland with them the next day. This is the picture they sent us to show how well it had settled in. |

The course from 12th June gather outside our new farrowing sheds. Since then Chris Sharp (Lincolnshire) has collected British Saddlebacks, Ann and Wayne Barge (Gwent) have collected Middle Whites with Tony Shaw and Jill Watkin (Northumberland) now being proud owners of Tamworth sows. Good luck to them all. |

Jason Careless (Nottinghamshire) who was on our course Sunday 8th August is clearly smitten with the 'Gloucestershire Old Spots' piglet he is holding. |
 |
Simon Bown who with Angela Rutter (Balham - London) joined us on our course held Saturday 18th September captured this great shot of our Gloucestershire Old Spots Sow deep in her mud wallow........as happy as a pig in 'a wallow'!!! |
 |
Christine Sharp (Lincolnshire) tries out one of our 'Traditional Wooden Pig Arks' for size whilst on our 12th June course. |

What a great pig picture taken by Ed and Linda Hinton from Shropshire on our Saturday 25th September course ........just look at that real piglet (British Saddleback) eye looking at the cameras. |

Linda and Jos Brechin (Kent) shared a double 'Birthday' gift pack to each other and joined us on Sunday 29th August (Don't ask us why they came the day before as well - we are too embarrassed to tell you!!). Despite driving up from Kent two days in succession these three photos clearly show that they enjoyed themselves.....................laughter and enjoyment are an integral part of the course. We are so lucky to meet such nice people. |
