Conclusion
Talking to members there is real enthusiasm for a conference, dinner and awards event.
Please support it to make this a great event but please do book promptly to save a lot of short-notice panics!
Please do get your bookings in as I have to firm up numbers early next week
So far we have two teams entered for the Go Karting Challenge but we need a minimum of four teams of four to hold the event which is kindly being sponsored by NRC.
If you have any queries please do get in touch!
