Dinners

lnformal Dinners Monday 11 and Tuesday 12 February

Rather than a formal conference dinner, delegates will be able to choose to go to informal dinners at local restaurants where group discounts have been negotiated.  This will ensure that if you would like to keep costs down but still enjoy a quality meal you will be able to do so.  Please ensure that you notify the conference desk of your intentions by Monday lunchtime for both meals.
