Coffee and a welcome from chairman Richard Slocock begin the programme at 10am. This will be followed by director Simon Johnson?s Annual Review and two fascinating talks on entomology by Stuart Crofts and Peter Hayes.
The afternoon?s events take on a more informal format, on the famous, private Duke?s beat on the Lathkill will include rod-testing (with Ian Maclean and Paul Procter of Orvis), entomology kick-sampling and identification, fly-tying and a river-walk. Various experts will be on hand during the afternoon to answer all your questions on conservation, fisheries management.
