What people said
Here are some of the enthusiastic comments people made after the event:
Please hold these events regularly - attending this event was inspirational and worth the annual membership fee in itself. Thanks for taking the time to hold this event.
I am so glad I made it - I found it was a day of great generosity of spirit and information, from a fantastic collection of people, who are very passionate about what they do
Very inspiring to meet other bread enthusiasts and would enjoy a longer event.
I found it to be a very well thought out, educational and inspiring event. I really did get a great deal out of the day. Perfect setting. Thank you very much.
Good event. Keeps the interest in the bakery world alive-keep going.
I found it very beneficial talking to all the speakers, especially Andrew Whitley. I think that it was great to be part of such an interesting gathering. Thank you
Great for networking. Thanks for organising it
It was all really useful, the talks, opportunity for networking and a chance to have a nosey round the School of Artisan Food! I talked to lots of people but somehow there wasn't time to see all the people I wanted to and ask all the questions I wanted to!
It was a great experience and I hope it continues.
Terrific atmosphere. Great excuse to visit a posh venue and they were very friendly and welcoming with it, and great that the event wasn't in London. Confirmed for me what a fantastic and supportive community Real Bread is. Well organised and organic - well done.
Great event, good atmosphere, well organised.
The location and immense hospitality of the School of Artisan Food and Welbeck Bakehouse were outstanding.
Thanks a lot for organising it - we had a great time!
The bread and cheese was lovely and the bakery tour great. It was lovely to be there and to meet other enthusiasts.
I am a hobby baker who would like to start a micro bakery. I found the day inspiring. It was so good to meet people with similar interests. Thank you
Great day, made even better by the train journey home with Chris, Maria, Marta and the rest of the London folks. The School of Artisan Food were great hosts and their facility is beautiful. Hope we do this again soon. Thanks!
As someone who's quite early on their 'bread journey', the tour of the Welbeck Bakehouse and having the opportunity to speak to the chaps working in there was interesting -also the bread they laid on for us was delicious! I could quite happily listen to interesting bakers talk about their experience all day.
It was a real treat to be invited and able to attend this event. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt the benefit of being part of a bigger group of people. It was inspiring and has given me a boost to take further steps forward. Also gave me increased levels of confidence to go out and spread the message to my bread group and others of the clear benefits of eating Real Bread and the associated, necessary requirement to invest in real loaves i.e. spending a little more on the real thing. I would really welcome the chance to attend future events of this type.
It came at just the right time for me as I'm just about to start trading and needed a bit of a boost and some human contact. Thanks!

Ten minute talks
Though the afternoon is really about meeting fellow Real Bread lovers, we have invited a few special guests to give a short talk or presentation. After a welcome to the afternoon from Real Bread Campaign co-ordinator Chris Young, you will hear from:
Tom Baker (Loaf Social Enterprise)

Hear how Tom's passion for Real Bread led him to build a wood-fired oven in his back garden, then quit his job to set up a Community Supported Bakery from his kitchen and most recently to move the bakery to become the heart of a new co-operative community shop on a local high street.
