UPDATE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been postponed until the autumn. A combination of adverse factors has led us to take this decision, which we very much regret. This is, however, a postponement, rather than a cancellation, and we will announce a new date once it has been set.
We apologise for any inconvenience that this has caused you. If you have already booked your places and would like a refund of the booking fees, please contact the Hon. Treasurer, Mark Bowyer on markcbowyer@gmail.com in the first instance. Otherwise, we will refrain from banking any money until a new date has been set and everyone has been notified.
