| Planning for Scaleforum 2009 is already underway, and we hope to repeat the successes of recent years despite some challenging circumstances. Our aim, as always, is to provide an event with an atmosphere of enjoyment, education and inspiration, and we invite you to attend both days if you possibly can. Due to changes at the venue a full range of catering is not expected to be available for this year, and the Society regrets any inconvenience this may cause to you. We can offer advice on local accommodation for those travelling from further away. |
