The old ‘ESSA voices’ forum has been discontinued but if sufficient interest is shown I will initiate a Facebook page - in the meantime everything will be published here, either directly on the page or via downloadable pdf files. Job vacancies can, of course, be advertised - see ‘vacancies’ link. Free for ESSA members. Non-members: £150. Information on upcoming Conferences will be published under the ‘conferences’ link, as well as notes, reports and photos of conferences past.

A very Merry May to you all. The weather, apparently, is doing it's best to confuse all and sundry and I do hope you haven't been, blown or washed away, dessicated from drought or possibly suffered untimely sun stroke. Essa is moving along really well right now, a new Conference venue has been discovered and I am sure Myfanwy will be circulating everyone with the details of what’s on offer and where it is, I won't steal her thunder there save to say the venue appears really helpful and most pleasant. If any of you who may be reading this have any issues you may wish to have discussed in either a subsequent exec or even in other business in the AGM or at the conference feel free to let me know and they could become a talking point before then! To all the regional reps who are reading this, please keep in touch and remember to up[date contact details if you or your organisation have changed them. Enjoy the oncoming summer, will write again in "Flaming" June. D
