Social programme

On Tuesday 6 June there will be an exhibitor BBQ at the hotel overlooking the jetty. This will follow the presentations at the end of the day and be a chance for delegates to interact with the exhibitors.

On Wednesday 7 June there will be an excursion to Muncaster Castle for a private hawk & owl tour. The castle is set in 77 acres of woodland and gardens against the backdrop of the Western Lake District fells and these idyllic surroundings provide memorable days out for visitors of all ages.

The Hawk & Owl  tour comprises the centre itself and its bird collection, together with sensational bird of prey flying displays and wild heron feed.

On the final evening of the conference we will be boarding a private charter on Miss Lakeland, departing from The Low Wood jetty at 6.30pm and sailing around the lake for one and a half hours in total before returning back to the jetty for 7.45pm. There will be two seperate tours, lasting 45 minutes apiece, and we will be providing a glass of Prosecco as a welcome drink for each guest to pick up as they board the boat. This will be followed by the conference banquet meal at the hotel at 20.00. 

All social activities are included in the registration fee but if you wish to bring an additional person to any of the activities listed above, please state so when registering.
