Mrs Scott has continued to be invaluable for her advice and support as Chairman of the Committee and I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you! It was a huge disappointment that Derbyshire Landskills could not attend Brailsford Ploughing Match. Fingers crossed we will be able to return in 2023

Difficulties have still been experienced with securing Assessor and Instructors. I now try where possible to plan training dates well ahead with at least 3 months’ notice. This works better for the Pesticide and Chainsaw training. It was unfortunate though that we had a full 5 days of pesticide training commencing with 12 on a PA1 Course on Monday 19 September which then went on to PA2 and PA6 training with assessments the following week. When Monday 19 was declared a Bank Holiday this threw all of the plans into chaos!
All Assessors have up to date copies of the Centre Policies and CVs are requested from all new Assessors to be held on the Centres’ files. It is noted that CPD must be held for each Assessor working for the Centre. The rolling programme of Assessment observations and paperwork sampling continues. The Centre Lantra and NPTC Audits are due in the coming months.
