Dear All, no opinions whatsoever in this email. Just letting you all
know that we're a couple short of having 50 bookings for the annual
conference. We can take quite a few more than 50, but if the numbers
carry on going up like this we might even reach the fire safety limit
for the centre in Bradford! Given that, please can any radstats
members/friends please use the form below or the one attached to book
TODAY to avoid disappointment if they intend to come to the conference?
You can vent your spleen about never ending Threads on Ilkley more on
Sunday too if you like (apologies - that was an opinion!).
best wishes to all,
danny
