Estimates on attendance varied between 80 and 120, and I am happy to say Croydon was well represented with three members in attendance. First of all, a big thank you to all the staff and volunteers who organised it, as it really was a fantastic, thought-provoking event. A number of themes crept up repeatedly throughout the day, with much advice and guidelines forming for how borough groups need to operate. Engage […]
