Shame its a school holiday, I will struggle to get out.

That's why we hold it (not because of you not being able to make it!) when we do, so many can make it as getting time off during term time is often impossible.

Other way around here. We do all the work during holidays and its quieter during the term.

Put an annual leave request in now then, before any major works.

Most stuff is already scheduled until Christmas

Just put my request in to the PTB to see if I can go. They'll probably say no, due to my not driving and it being 2 nights hotel stay.

Fingers crossed Tony!

We shall, of course, be laying on an evening meal after the conf, and for those of you who were there last year will be able to attest, it's a great laugh

[RichCowell]

Awesome! Registered and hotel already booked looking forward to it...

Same here - why was this date chosen? We're often busier in holiday times than in term time!

Will you have someone talking about GDPR?

[Dos_Box]

We were going to invite my brother who has spoken on data protection stuff at past confs but sadly he's on holiday on those dates. I'll have an ask around though and see who I can perhaps ask.

I heard about your brother's last talk. Shame he can't make it.Might be worth checking to see if The Information Commissioner is available...

[JonThompson]

Signed up. Thanks for coming back to visit us!

[elsiegee40]

Just to let you all know, we have applied to the Information Commissioners Office to provide a speaker to talk on GDPR. Hopefully we shall be able to let you know more soon.
