Annual Congress 2022 will go ahead
The Association is deeply saddened to hear of the death of Her Majesty The Queen and we have offered our condolences to the Royal Family at this very difficult time.
We would like to inform attendees that while respectfully acknowledging this sad event, Annual Congress 2022 will go ahead next week (Wednesday 14 - Friday 16 September) in Belfast.
We suggest that the tone of the meeting should be respectful (but not sombre). We ask that any communications, including Social Media posts, are in keeping with the nation’s mood, in addition you should be aware that many of our delegates are not from the British Isles.
If you have any queries, do please contact us: [email protected]
