Colleagues,
Here is the round-up for October - as promised things seem to be picking up
after the summer recess.
I hope this information is useful to you and would welcome any suggestions.
If people send me details of other regional events or local organisations
and networks, I would be happy to include them. Please include 'Regional
Roundup' in the subject line.
Be seeing you.
Daniel Cunliffe (BHCIG-BCS regional liaison).
