farming meeting

We are delighted to give you early notice of an event to celebrate a farming union in the county since 1904.  

The seeds of the Lincolnshire Farmers Union were sown at the 1904 Harmston Annual Show, a very large affair held in the grounds of Harmston Hall (Harmston Park) under the auspices initially of W H Morton and then of Natty Cockburn. At some stage of the Show a group of five Lincolnshire farmers were discussing the state of the nation from a farming aspect following the end of the Boer War. No doubt this was over a beer or two; tradition has it that this took place at the Joiners Arms in School Lane, Welbourne. They decided to contribute to a start-up fund and organise a larger meeting; this was held at the Albion Hotel in Lincoln and from that meeting grew the Lincs Farmers Union. By 1908, The National Farmers Union was formed.

A great night of entertainment and local food is being organised with a champagne reception, local Lincolnshire food, the Baltic Donkeys and a casino. 

All proceeds are to be donated to Lincs Rural Support Network (LRSN) and the Lincolnshire Rural Agricultural Chaplaincy.

Early bird tickets £85pp (tables of 10 can be booked)
