Thanks Nathan for flagging this up
Interested to hear your running a technician focused event on the Friday
I'm disappointed to have to say I won't be able to attend
Friday afternoons are my PGCHE sessions, I'd like to keep in touch though
and agree that we can all benefit by from this email group.
