| We were delighted and grateful to have a
double-page article in Farmers Weekly on April 23rd
2011 featuring the activities of the Trust and publicising
the forthcoming course. Our thanks go to Paul Spackman
and to Ian Ashbridge for this boost to our successful
2011 recruitment drive when 45 people applied.

The 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.
-
Thank
you if you have already made a contribution; please encourage
others to do the same.

If
you want a gift aid form, please click here
-
If
you are an ex-scholar and have not been approached, please don’t
feel left out. You haven't been forgotten!
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 John Read.
