Places are limited to 300 and we are almost at capacity. We have a couple of spaces left so please register at the link today if you would like one. Anyone who doesn’t get a place will be on a reserve list and we will tell you if people have not arrived to take up their place before the event begins. For those on the reserve list we cannot guarantee there will be places available (in case you are travelling a long distance) but will of course include you if at all possible.

You will not receive a reply to registration today (30 October) but we will note your details on the reserve list and have them at the event.

If you do have a place we would be grateful if you could tell us in advance if you are unable to take it up so we can offer it to someone else.

We look forward to seeing you there.
