It was pointed out that there is a need for freezer and/or refrigerated storage facilities in our area.

February saw a good meeting of the folk involved, I see co-operation and enthusiasm, which are essential components to a working group. We are involved in progress within the food industry for our County, looking into a mobile chicken slaughter unit to keep prices down and freshness and quality up in the chicken industry.

Program set for the next neeting see the first page for the program and timings.
