It was really wonderful to get together again at our first face to face regional meeting, in two years, last Friday afternoon ,the conference centre at Buckfast Abbey is in such a lovely setting, we had a really nice lunch and a great presentation by John. We were very sorry that Rachel stepped down as chairperson, she has been a fantastic pioneer of the regional group and a much valued chair. We were however very happy to welcome Lorraine as our new chairperson and also two new members to the committee . We will be welcoming Lorraine into her new position and the new members in a couple of weeks when we all meet together. On the agenda we will be discussing future regional cpd events and for those of you who didn’t attend on Friday it would be great to know what you would like. Finally I would just like to add how great it was that many of those that attended on Friday borrowed a book from our new library resource!
