The programme of events for BTME 2018 is quickly taking shape, with the latest announcement seeing the return of a popular comedian.

- Greenkeeping Achievement of the Year sponsored by Baroness
Following the event there will be an informal drinks reception.
Ian Moore said: “I’m really chuffed to be asked back to the BIGGA Welcome Celebration, and especially back to Harrogate as I left a pair of cuff-links in the hotel last year and they promised to hold on to them.”
