Blog for the I&DeA Rural Excellence Event

Upwards of forty people, councillors and officers from local authorities and representatives of Central and Regional Government, have gathered at the Monkbar Hotel in York to chew over their experience of the I&DeA’s Rural Excellence mentoring programme.

I’m going to be blogging throughout the day today, capturing bits of video and audio and sharing them here or on the CoP website once it is up and running properly.

We’ve just been listening to Richard Greening from I&DeA  about the progress of the programme and people are now going to break up into discussion groups.
