OK, so like the Diary you get at Christmas our diligance with the blog lapsed a little.

So what have we been doing and what do we need to tell you about?

Well first we have been playing with Microsoft Accounting 2008. Even if money isn't your thing you should be aware that the Express version is free and is pretty much a Sage substitute.

Next item on the list is to remind everyone who needs telescopic/forklift/tractor training before the summer to let us know! I am doing more of this training than I want to as the other instructors we use are also extremely busy. The sooner you can let us know your requirements the sooner we can get you in the system and allocated to one of our approved trainers.

For those of you with livestock, it appears we are all just waiting for the b/t vaccine to appear. On the transport of animals subject, just to remind everyone we can offer the Lantra assessment (with our own training programme) or the NPTC assessment. If you want to be certified for more than one species the Lantra assessment appears to be the more cost effective solution. Please don't hesitate to call us for latest developments in this ever changing area.

Finally, with harvest approaching we are getting together a grainstore monitoring course. if you feel this is for you let me know asap!
