Colleagues,
Here is the round-up for February - sorry for the interruption in
service, have been kept busy by the arrival of new daughter. I am also
experimenting with a new format (assuming it makes it through the
list-server of course), mostly to make it quicker to construct - any
feedback welcomed. If anyone knows of other regional organisations or
informal gatherings, I would be happy to include them - so please send
details.
Be seeing you.
Daniel Cunliffe (BHCIG-BCS regional liaison).

BCS BRANCH EVENTS FEBRUARY
Except where otherwise noted, these are BCS, BSC Specialist Group or BCS
branch events. BCS Branch events are generally free for both BCS members
and non-members, but some events are charged for and some require
pre-booking, so please check. Note that location information refers to
the organising Branch, not necessarily the location of the event.
Remember, these events typically count towards BCS CPD, 0.5 CPD units
per hour, or 0.75 units per hour for workshops.
