We are pleased to announce the line-up for the Solway Firth Partnership / Solway Coast Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty Joint Conference on Friday 14 November 2014 at the Hallmark Hotel in Carlisle. This year is particularly special as we celebrate 50 years of the Solway Coast AONB.
Keynote speaker at this event will be Eric Robson, Cumbrian based writer and broadcaster, known to many as co-chairman of BBC Radio 4 Gardeners' Question Time. Another highlight of our conference will be Richard Platt's talk on Smuggling on the Solway. Richard is a well known award-winning author who regularly appears on radio and TV talking about maritime topics.
Our programme will also include workshops on the next 50 Years of the AONB and the Star of Caledonia, as well as updates on LEADER funding, coastal access in Cumbria, sea fisheries and lots more.
