Island hosts European farming conference

by isleofman.com 7th July 2009

About 150 delegates at the European Young Farmers' Conference being held in the Isle of Man this week will have a chance to get a flavour of the host nation.

They've come from countries as far afield as the United States and Australia for the prestigious event, which is being held here for the first time.

The main venue is King William's College, and many of the visitors attended yesterday's open air Tynwald ceremony.

Tourism and Leisure Minister Martyn Quayle says, as well as seeing some of the interesting and usual attractions around the Island, delegates will also have a chance to experience life on Manx farms:
