The word is out that a date for the All Ireland Mushroom Conference 2011 has been confirmed.
At a meeting of the Organisation Committee in Dublin in early March the date was set.
Date confirmed as Thursday 20th October 2011, at the top border venue of the Hillgrove Hotel, Monaghan.
Thus far the format is going to be mostly as in previous years with a series of talk/lectures, poster presentations, and workshops.
As in years gone by there will also be the much acclaimed Trade Show.
The second day of the conference, the Friday 21st of October, there will be a programme of scheduled farm visits in the local area – which of course happens to be the location of some of the finest and technologically up-to-date mushroom farms in Europe.
Surely this will be a conference not to be missed!
