I want to thank Ian and Stuart Paton, their family, and their friends for all their hard work, kindness, and hospitality in making the GPC Seminar a success. Your efforts were truly appreciated!!! It was an awesome experience that gave us the chance to meet many of our fellow growers from Europe and the United Kingdom. It will be remembered by us all!!! THANK YOU!!!

Indeed!

This was the first time that we have held the convention at a private location, and The entire Paton family put in an outstanding effort to make the show a success. Food, setup, transport, all the little details were handled amazingly.

Thanks again to all who attended, and those who helped in any way. I have a lot of great memories and got to meet some new friends.

Yes Sir great time
We would very much like to thank Ian & Stewie Paton, their family friends & helpers who worked tirelessly to put on a fantastic seminar!!! All of your hard work was very much appreciated , from the potted plants that surrounded the room to the table center pieces & lighting. Seeing all the flags representing the countries of the growers that attended was very inspiring to me. Belonging to this Great Pumpkin Commonwealth, where we all come to learn from one another's successes& failures theories and experiences help to further push the boundaries of the great hobby we all enjoy. The rosted pig and lamb were the best your hospitality warm as your beer was cold!
Thanks to the GPC directors who worked hard to make the seminar a great success congrats to Ron Steve & all those who received awards. Well deserved ! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit "across the pond " you really knocked it out of the park! It was "bloody brilliant" !!!

I also would like to extend my gratitude to the Paton family. You opened your home to us, treated us like family and made us feel as welcome as we would in our living rooms. It was an honor for us to be in your country, town and daily business. Your entire family went far beyond what could have been expected and made this event very special. Thank you so much to Ian, Stewie, Rory, Mum and the entire team at Pinetops.
