NFYFC staff conference
New venue for NFYFC staff conference 2011
The Charlecote Pheasant Hotel, Warwickshire, will host next year's NFYFC staff conference on
9-11 February.
The venue has been changed in response to feedback from this year's conference delegates, which has led to the conference being slightly restructured to allow fewer but more in-depth workshops.
The Charlecote Pheasant is able to accommodate parallel presentations, so delegates will be able to chose to attend the sessions that are of particular interest to them.
Following the success of her session at the 2010 conference, Pat Endicott is avaiable to deliver time and stress management workshops to YFCs.
More information about Pat's work can be found online at www.pjendicott.co.uk
