Commemorative book for royal wedding gift
15/02/05

The Pentalk Network is preparing a commemorative book for HRH Prince of Wales to celebrate his forthcoming marriage to Camilla Parker-Bowles on April 8th.

It is intended to invite farmers, leading farm organisations and farm suppliers to sign the book. Pentalk farmer photographers will contribute images of all the main rural areas from Hadrian's Wall to the Lancashire border.

Ann Risman, Pentalk Organiser says, “We have seen how strongly and consistently Prince Charles has supported Cumbria and its farming community. His personal visits and interventions during foot and mouth and the recent floods and his valuable advocacy on important rural issues cannot surely be in doubt. This Pentalk Book and its signatures is a simple but effective way of expressing our thanks for his support. We will send our best wishes for his happiness with Camilla and good health to both of them for the years ahead”

The Pentalk book will open on Monday 21st February 2005 and signature pages will be made available in the Auction Marts, at farming functions and at training courses. The book and its photographs will be finally assembled in early April for despatch to Windsor Castle.
