In the splendid surroundings of Manchester Central they were able to hear some fascinating key note speakers including BBC’s Bill Turnbull who gave a whole new meaning to being a Busy Bee.
One of the club’s projects – the Sheila Rooney Travel Scholarship was nominated for a Best Practice Award and although it did not win it was satisfying to be in the top three of several hundred nominations.
