Posted By Geoff Burt Didn't see you there Eric - I'd have given you the last badge! Generally I thought it was very good, with as you say some excellent speakers, especially Julian Peto on asbestos and the construction HSE guy of the ones I saw. There was a more practical feel to this conference. Just one minor observation was that there seemed to be less stands than in the past and those that were there were not particularly relevant to my activities. I would have like to have seen some PPE suppliers among others. I liked the venue and gave the Wednesday evening buffet a miss - couldn't resist the Russell Watson Concert. I think they said the next one would be at Harrogate and after that, Cardiff. Geoff
