Sorry, I was in such a rush I didn’t look at the website properly – of course the programme is already there! I will try to come on the Saturday.

Sadly, I only found out about this conference after it had taken place. Please could you tell me if it is at all possible to obtain recordings of the talks given at the conference. While I would be interested in hearing all of them, I have a particular interest in hearing the talks given by Dr Zoe Crossland and Mr Bryan Jones.
Yours sincerely
