Thank you for allocating me a place. I've already booked flights and this evening will check out accommodation.

This looks very interesting and is close by. My consultant is in Newcastle. I am not sure it would be of benefit to me though - feel like I am to far down the road.

Edited to add I have booked a place. I think it will be interesting

[BevWears in reply to MarieW-F]

Hi Marie. I'm sure there'll be lots of interesting information and we look forward to welcoming you.
