We're going back on the road! While the finishing touches are put to the initial planning of the next national donorflex User Conference – scheduled for early next year – we've also been busy organising the next round of Regional User Group roadshows.

In keeping with our tried-and-tested RUG formula, the venues have been chosen with comfort, cost and easy access in mind.

The dates are calculated to miss the back-to-school days following the summer break, and ensure that there's no clash with the all-important Hospice Lotteries Association Conference in Stratford-upon-Avon, which is being sponsored for the first time by donorflex Lottery.

Here's how the schedule looks:

  • South East: Wednesday, September 8, 2010, Princess Alice Hospice, Esher
  • North East: Thursday, September 9, 2010, Barnsley Hospice, Barnsley
  • North West: Thursday, September 9, 2010, Claire House, Bebington, Wirral
  • South West: Wednesday, September 22, 2010, Thornbury Golf Centre, Thornbury, Bristol
  • Midlands: Thursday, September 23, 2010, Garden Organic, Coventry
  • Scotland and Northern Ireland: Thursday, September 23, 2010, St Leonard's Hall, Edinburgh University

In the coming weeks, we'll be providing you with more details about the RUG theme, as well as the agenda and value-for-money costs, and an opportunity to book your places online. Watch this space!
