Gwyneth Millard, our National Education Director writes…
For some years, people have been asking for a return to holding seminars and workshops at Conference. In April 2012 it is intended to do so, but we need to know what people want.
There will be one Development and one Education Seminar. For the Education one, there are two suggestions so far – The Use of Powerpoint or Speaking with Humour. Which would you prefer?
Would you like these to be on Friday afternoon from 4 pm till 5.30 pm or on Saturday afternoon between 1.30 pm and 2.30 pm. Have you any other suggestions? Please let us have your ideas.
More information will be in the August mailing.

Hi Gwyneth
Hurray – Seminars are back!!!!!!!
Friday afternoon would be good for me.
Not death by powerpoint for me! I’d rather go with the humour!

A good idea. My first choice would be humour as it is a difficult assignment to tackle. Points such as anecdotal and what is a spech or a drama I would like aired.
As to when, Friday could be problematical as many cannot arrive early.

I agree with Lorna Henry( not relation). Definitely humour and Saturday afternoon for those who can’t be there on time on the Friday.

I’d like to vote for a workshop on Speaking with Humour.
It’s a useful skill to have.
Glad to see workshops are coming back to the conference
