Conference Dinner
On Thursday evening, we will be going to Greaves Park for dinner. This is an excellent opportunity to continue the fruitful discussions of Thursday, to get to know your peers better, and to anticipate Friday’s panels.
· You will pay for your meal on the night. However, because we are a large group, Greaves Park has asked that we send in our orders one week in advance. Please consult the menu attached, and reply to this email with your choices. Please only order a meal if you are going to the meal.
