Hi all, If you are planning on attending both the AGM and the conference, then please register as soon as possible at: http://okcon2010.eventbrite.com/ You can also register on the day, but registering online is strongly encouraged.
Again, if you want help with the registration fee (£20+a booking fee), or travel to the event, please let me know. As a general guideline, requests from WMUK members for covering the registration fee are likely to be accepted, whilst travel expenses will probably only be covered if there is a clear need. Hope to see lots of you at the AGM on Saturday.
