In 2017, the Amenity Forum will once again be holding a series of free Updating Events at locations across the UK.



These events are half day in length and focus on short presentations covering current topics delivered by specialists in these areas.

Apart from events in each main region of England, there will also be ones in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. They are being held in the period late January to early April.

If you are interested in attending, or know others who might be, you are advised to register your interest now by emailing Alan Spedding at Alan.Spedding@amenityforum.net He can acknowledge your interest and provide the further information required as and when available. The events also carry CPD points.

The Amenity Forum say the overall emphasis for 2017 is on putting together an integrated programme for effective weed, pest and disease management. The events also provide opportunity to discuss new developments and challenges and network with other professionals.

At each event an update will also be provided on the Forum campaign to increase awareness of the importance of weed, pest and disease management and how it impacts upon every UK citizen, keeping Britain moving. For access to some of the materials, access the Forum website and click on ‘Get Moving’
