The BNC has booked a stall space at this conference but need a couple more volunteers to help staff it.
This is an interesting day, and it is possible to attend some of the sessions along with looking after our bookstall. It's a good opportunity to meet other organisations, promote the BNC, and to hear a range of presentations. If you could help for all or part of the day, do please get in touch via the contact page possible? Thank you.
