There aren't any travel costs provided but if we organise for it early trains shouldn't be too steep. More info on that when it is confirmed by Co-operatives UK - would be good to have a good spread of people attending though and brum lot will be able to put people up for the night.

Please find           conference flyer attached. We are seeking diversity in conference speakers – it would be great if you could nominate a clear speaker who is female and/or from an ethnic minority.

We expect  higher  attendance  this  time, as events and responses continue to unfold. The conference is being held the day before the Cooperative Group’s Annual General Meeting, when many co-operators will be in Manchester.
