You need to register in advance, as space is limited. Please only register if you really will attend, otherwise you will block places for others. You must attend the first session if you want to participate (and attendance at all other scheduled sessions is mandatory).
The first session is 09:15 on Friday 26 April (as 19 April is a public holiday).
Registration opens at 12:00 on Monday 18 March. If you cannot register because it is full, send me an email to be put on the waiting list.
