We look forward to welcoming members, their families and friends to join the CLA team on the Brown & Co / Shakespeare Martineau stand overlooking the main ring at the Southwell Ploughing Match.

Enjoy complimentary bacon roll from 9.00am, hog roast from 12 noon, and refreshments throughout the day.

This is an excellent opportunity to update us on your business and ensure you are utilising your CLA membership.

Duncan Abel, Regional Sales Manager, will be available to update your membership records, explain the full range of CLA benefits and discuss adding family members, colleagues or employees to your membership. If you know someone who is not yet a member, please bring them along for an informal conversation about how the CLA could support them and their business.

Members can also take advantage of the free expert advice available from Jules Stephens, CLA East Regional Surveyor, on a wide range of rural business and land management matters, including planning, compulsory purchase and infrastructure projects, public access, residential lettings, diversification and other issues affecting rural businesses.

Sophia Dolan from the CLA's Public Affairs team will also be joining us. Sophia works closely with MPs, government and key stakeholders to champion the interests of rural businesses and landowners. This is a valuable opportunity to share your experiences, highlight local issues and help inform the CLA's lobbying and policy work.

Whether you would like membership advice, professional guidance, a discussion about rural policy, or simply a chance to catch up over refreshments, we would be delighted to see you, your friends, neighbours and fellow rural business owners.
