EVENTS

Please note: An official photographer may be commissioned by BBRO to take photos and videos at sugar industry events. This includes crowd images and close-ups of growers engaging with sugar industry professionals. Content will be used for marketing purposes including pre- and post-event publicity and editorial. If you do not wish to be photographed, please inform the registration team on your arrival at the event, so that the official photographer can be informed. Best efforts will be made to exclude you from images, though please be aware this may be difficult for crowd scenes.

Our annual BeetTech events will take place on 3rd February 2026 at Norfolk Showground and 10th February 2026 at Newark Showground. 

These half day events will be followed by Drill Operator Training in the afternoon.
