Club Development Conference

   

Programme from Sunday 26 January 2020

- next one will be in January 2023

    

Our conferences are held at Durham ARC

     

The speakers and topics for the 2020 conference in January were chosen after taking soundings from those in the region on what would be of interest to them, but ensuring we had rounded but diverse set of points of view. No conferences were held in 2021 and 2022 due to Covid. Ideas for 2023 to Alan Cook.
