DONT PANIC this is still under discussion regarding HEN events but the website does not allow these terms to be bypassed for us.HEN meetings have not suffered the significant level of non attendance experienced by SHARE for their free training programmes of recent times and I don't believe this condition is needed for our meetings. I shall be asking for your views of the booking experience etc. at the meeting. Please book and let me know if you have any problems.I hope to see you at Leighton Buzzard on the 18th for what promises to be an interesting and practical day. Please note that there is now a new link road off the M1 which is faster for access to their site see http://www.buzzrail.co.uk/static/location.html
