CAFFO Reunion

The local team (Campaign Against Factory Farming Operations - www.caffo.co.uk) who successfully campaigned against the Nocton Dairies Ltd planning application, had a reunion last night. Meeting at The Chequers for a meal and a few drinks, it was nice to catch up with old friends and acquantances alike, though unfortunately a couple of the original team could not make the event.

Guest of Honour was Pat Thomas from Compassion in World Farming, who brought along a surprise gift for the team.  Philip Lymbery (Chief Executive) had publicly declared that CiWF wanted to share their Observer Ethical Award for Campaigner of the Year with the local CAFFO group... and Pat had kindly gone to the trouble of obtaining a duplicate award for us to retain for posterity. A nice memento for all the hard work that went into the campaign by everyone nationwide.
