Why a conference?

The replies to our members questionnaire in February mostly asked for more interchange of useful experience between groups and there was some interest in trying to develop policy or at least to agree on some important positions. At our meeting in July (see notes on page 2) we highlighted many areas of interest and agreed to deal with some of these in more depth and to try to follow them through afterwards.

We invite all our members, and anyone else who wishes, to attend this free event.

(donations welcome!!)
