York is beckoning!

Chair’s Blog – March 2010

Have you booked your place for the Weekend School at York yet? No? Why on earth not? Don’t use the budget excuse. This is the best training you can get at a price every authority can afford.

For a mere £395 – a hugh discount on the the previous delegate fee – you get up to 13 hours accredited CPD, a fantastic Exhibition, the premier LG social event – the Annual Dinner – and networking opportunities to die for!

The flyers are out and the booking forms are on the website so BOOK NOW to secure your place – don’t miss out.

Don’t forget that this year there are day tickets for the Friday and Saturday and you can express an interest in having one of these – there will be discounts for multi tickets bought by an authority.

So no excuses – BOOK NOW!

At the WES we are also celebrating the Local Government Young Solicitor of the Year Award sponsored by Trowers and Hamlin.

This is a time to celebrate our young talent and we have plenty of it. So NOMINATE NOW a colleague that has excelled in local government practice – full details are on the website.

Best wishes

Guy Goodman
