SSG Spring Meeting - 16th March 2012

 
"The Spring SSG meeting was well attended and received a lot of positive feedback.  I would like to extend a big thank you to all the speakers and delegates for their contributions.  The format of a Thursday evening SSG meal followed by the meeting on the Friday proved to be very popular and may be useful when the SSG visits other remote corners of the country!"
Dr Jonathan Fletcher
