To celebrate this we are laying on 4 free seminars in quick succession - see below. The 'Software planning' seminars (Free) (the first advertised below) will also travel around the country during the year. The first will be held in York, the second is likely to be in Southampton Watch out for announcements. Together with the Free seminar programme, a full programme of training workshops has been set for the coming year - see forthcoming events below. We also welcome Christina Silver who has joined us on the project today, and together with Ann Lewins will supplement the help, support and training as provided by the project over the last 7 years. The project is co-directed by Nigel Fielding and Ray Lee. TRAINING events are now being provided at two levels.
