Members' PageA Successful Recruiting CampaignSome 45 people applied for a place on the 2010/11 JET Course which gave our selection team a difficult task. Interviews were held at the RAC, Cirencester on June 12th and twelve applicants from diverse backgrounds were selected. Full details will be given in the next Newsletter, but if you would like more information now, please contact the Hon. Secretary. Thank you to everyone who helped with spreading the word.

Reunion at Rotherfield Park on Tuesday May11th
Alumni Dinners 2011It has now become almost a tradition to invite ex JET Scholars to a dinner evening during the Course. The January and March sessions will once again be held at the Grosvenor at Stockbridge.
The speakers are not yet fixed, but you can be assured of a stimulating evening in congenial company. As always, we will be inviting individual course-years on one or the other of these evenings and we will be contacting representatives from each group nearer the time. An AppealThe funding gap grows ever wider between the cost of our unique JET courses and the Trust's investment income, but so far we have managed to put on courses at no cost to the new Award Holders. We would like to maintain this tradition, but to do so we do need more funds. Quite a number of JET Alumni have already responded and are making regular donations. Katherine Parker has nobly taken on the task of contacting other previous JET scholars to ask them to make a contribution by way of a gift aid covenant.
A
modest individual contribution from everyone whose career
has been enhanced by the JET experience would enable the Trust to
continue to foster future rural leaders. If you can help in any way, please contact either Katherine or Christopher Langford. We need your email address
