NEW "PAST EVENTS" PAGE
|
Updated: 20th February 2008 |
In response to feedback received from users, we've added a new Past Events page to the web-site which
contains details of BCS Nottingham & Derby Branch events going back to 2001, with links to pages containing additional
information and downloads, etc., where appropriate.
The page is included in the menu on the left of every page and will hopefully this will make it much simpler to find downloads and
information for recent and not-so-recent events. As a result of this change, the events information and download links for last
year's "50th Anniverary" events programme will not be moved to the
Downloads page as was previously planned. The latter has therefore been renamed (back) to
Winter School Downloads and will continue to contain only the slides, etc., from previous
(and future) Winter School events.
If you have any queries about the web-site, if you have problems finding something, or if you have suggestions for other ways we
can improve the site, please contact us via the Feedback page.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

both to support the events and to help the committee in organising them. The branch committee welcome feedback
from all members and attendees and suggestions for future events are especially welcome. If you would like
to make a suggestion or if you can help with organising or publicising an event, please contact any
committee member.
