Due to a high number of first time attenders this year the

> It has been suggested that we start a 'buddy' (OR 'Friend')scheme
> for first timers to try to make them feel more welcome.
> We are looking for volunteers to make contact at the conference
> reception with the newcomers and just to make it known that you are
> available for help and advice over the course of the weekend. We
> do not anticipate that it would involve much more than this but we
> felt if we make an effort with this we might get more people back
> next year. I'm sure we can all remember feeling a bit nervous at

> If you would be interested in helping us with this please email me
