We will be having a stand in the exhibition at Spring Conference in Harrogate from 21st to 23rd March. I need to compile a rota of people who will agree to spend a 2 hour slot on the stand to chat to visitors about LDCF.  We like to have two people at all times.  More people sign up as members during conferences than at any other time of the year, so we need people to talk about why they're a member and to encourage others to join.  If you are a member of LDCF, please do sign up to do a slot on the stand.

The exhibition is open:
Friday 21st 4:30pm until 6pm 
Saturday 22nd 9am until 6pm
Sunday 23rd 9am until 1pm

I will be producing a rota nearer the time to give people the chance to look at the agenda and think about what times they could be free to help out on the stand. But it would be great to have a list of people who I could call on to sign up for the rota.

I have booked a table for 20 people at Stuzzi restaurant, 46B Kings Road, Harrogate. HG1 5JW. It is opposite the Harrogate Conference Centre.
Table is booked for 8pm on Saturday 22nd March. Please RSVP to ensure your place. Everyone is welcome to attend, not just LDCF members.

Stuzzi has great reviews. Here's how they describe their restaurant:
Traditional recipes sit along side modern italian cooking and street food essentials to create a chaotic mix of gastronomic treats from the world’s greatest food country, complimented by our carefully selected imported drinks, meats and cheeses. all sweets and bakery are produced in house from imported Neapolitan flour and prepared using techniques passed to us by italian friends and colleagues.

We will have the option to either order individually, or to order lots of small plates to share.
