Bl_hrh In a letter of support received from Prince Charles for the forthcoming ruralnet|2004 conference he said,

"I am a great believer in learning from the experiences of others and working together with those who have already succeeded in making a difference. That is why I could not be more pleased that ruralnet|uk is focussing its conference this year on the innovative solutions which rural communities can adopt as part of safeguarding their local services. I could not be more pleased that "Pub is the Hub" is contributing to the conference and I hope that it might inspire other communities. Above all, I wish the participants every success in their efforts to keep our countryside both special and sustainable and I much look forward to hearing a report on your deliberations and conclusions."
