Many thanks indeed for your support in assisting us so effectively with our Annual Conference in Torquay a few weeks ago. Our members and their partners have always enjoyed the ambiance and facilities of the Town. This was proved by the record attendance of nearly 1,100. As a result, you know we are considering returning to you in 2009, well in advance of our normal schedule of a nine year cycle. Thanks again."
