The Agroforestry Research : UK Discussion Forum
The Agroforestry Research : UK Discussion Forum is an informal group of
research workers in the UK involved in various aspects of silvopastoral and
silvoarable research. We hold an annual, informal meeting to report on
progress in various areas of work and to visit field sites. There follows a
copy of the letter that is being circulated by post to the current mailing
list.
If you work in the UK, or indeed if you work abroad, and wish to attend the
meeting please contact me. My various addresses are listed below and in the
registration form which is attached. Please note that the Forum has no
funds, that there is no registration fee, that those attending must pay
their way and that the meeting is entirely informal.

Agroforestry Research : UK Discussion Forum, Annual Meeting
13-15 June 1990
The annual meeting of the Forum for 1990 is to be held at the Macaulay
Land Use Research Institute, Craigiebuckler, Aberdeen over the period
13 - 15 June. A draft programme is attached.
The programme will begin on the 13th for those of you who wish to attend
the meeting of the Below Ground Interactions Group. This meeting has
been arranged for 7pm that evening at the School of Agriculture,
University of Aberdeen, 481 King Street, Aberdeen.
The main meeting of the Forum will be on Thursday 14th June. On Friday
15th June there will be field trips to the MLURI Glensaugh Research
Station where one of the National Network experiments and three other
agroforestry projects are located and to a research site run by the
Scottish Agricultural Colleges (SAC) and Department of Agriculture,
Aberdeen University at Tillycorthie. The Tillycorthie site has a
Forestry Commission/SAC cultivation and vegetation control trial and a
trial on alder with and without inoculation with *Frankia*.
The meeting is being organised locally by Colin Campbell (MLURI), John
Hooker (Aberdeen University) and myself. We will need as soon as
possible a clear idea of the numbers who will be attending and their
domestic requirements for accommodation, food and local transport. If
you intend to come to the meeting will you please complete the attached
form showing which facilities you require us to arrange.
As before, because the Forum has no funds of its own and because there
is no registration fee, all participants will be required to pay for
their own food and accommodation as they go. We will try to arrange
rooms in hotels in the #20-#25 B&B category, if this does not suit you
please let us know on the form and we will attempt, without any
guarantee, to book what you require. Lunch on the Thursday will be
served in the canteen at MLURI at a cost of about #2.50 depending on
what you select. Lunch on the Friday for those taking part in the field
trip will be at a restaurant close to Glensaugh. This is only a small
establishment and we will need to get your choice from the menu and the
money to cover it at some time during the meeting on Thursday so that we
can phone the order ahead. Your co-operation in this matter will be
greatly appreciated.
For the purpose of organising the Group meetings, please also indicate
on the form those Group sessions that you wish to attend. Please note
that the Network Managers' Meeting and the Silvoarable Group Meeting are
scheduled concurrently for the late afternoon *after* the main meeting.
I look forward to meeting you at the Meeting, especially if you complete
and return the attached form promptly and before 30th April.
Yours sincerely,
Alan R Sibbald
Secretary
