A Chara,

Meath LEADER has planned a major event to celebrate the success of the National Rural Development Programme in Co Meath and to animate the imminent introduction of the Rural Development Programme 2008-2013. The event will take place on Thursday March 6 in the Main Ballroom, Trim Castle Hotel, Trim Co Meath at 6pm.

The event will incorporate a representative display of significant projects funded under the NRDP and the project promoters involved will be on hand to meet with the general public to discuss the merits of the programme. A series of workshops will take place designed to proof our new programme 2008-2013 prior to its finalisation, the workshops will also be used to deliver a training programme on how best to attract and utilise rural development funding in the new programme.

This event will be essential for the people of Meath.
