Up and Coming EVENTS:
**NEW**
The annual safety seminar "Safely Managing the Challenge of Change 2010" will be held at the Holiday Inn Royal Victoria, Sheffield on Friday 16th April. The cost to delegates is £35 and the day starts with registration, tea/coffee from 8.30am with the presentations beginning at 9am. This important event has been attended by an increasing number of delegates over the last few years and the 2009 seminar very nearly reached maximum numbers. Early pre-registration is therefore recommended. A Pre-registration form can be downloaded here.
The event is also an opportunity for companies or organisations to showcase their products or services. A limited number of trade stands can be accommodated at a cost of £150 and booked using the trade stand registration form which can be downloaded here.
