We organised an Event and many came.
We in the Avon, there were four of us, got together one day, chose a name for ourselves and started organising a day for people to come along and see and hear for themselves about NSF.
Peter came on his own cost for which we were very very grateful.
A lot of people came and listened to Peter speak.
He made a little flood and he constructed banks on the contour and showed us how we should manage the rainfall run off.
Some farmers and many scientists showed up for the day.
At first the scientists were sceptical, but Peter played and joked and teased them and he continually asked for more questions until they begun to understand what he was saying.
Eventually they began to listen more and get up and go to Peter to take him on.
It was fun, everyone was laughing. It was exciting too, people began to feel hope. At the end of the day, no one really wanted to go. I told them it was finished, but they wanted to stay and talk more.
Of course they were welcome to do so.
As they finally left, everyone was still talking about what they had learnt, and of the new ideas flooding their minds.
I too found a whole new understanding, much greater and clearer than the day before.
Get your friends together and organise a talk with Peter, you will be so glad you did!

Many hands make light work.
Unfortunately, too many hands stirring anti clockwise, has spoiled mother natures recipe.
Back to basics.

Yes they did Angela,
Photos and some film which I will post as soon as it hits my desk.
A very pleasing outcome.
Now I am organising an official excursion for all members and interested friends to see a nearby farm where the owner is implementing his "No Kill" farming technique as promoted by Peter.
Our organisation now has a large group of followers and contacts to work with.
