We are delighted to announce details of our Spring Forum at the Doubletree by Hilton followed by dinner at The Deep, Hull which will take place on Thursday 27th February 2025.

The Deep is an award-winning aquarium in Hull and a conservation/education charity, with a mission to inspire positive change for ocean survival. It is home to approximately 3,500 fish species, including coral reefs, sharks and rays. One of the materials used in construction of the building was marine-grade aluminium as used in shipbuilding.
