Colleagues,
Here is the round-up for January for those already looking forward to 05.
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.
Happy new one.
Daniel Cunliffe (BHCIG-BCS regional liaison).
