Colleagues,
Here is the slightly late round-up for October.
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).
