The Conference and AGM is the highlight of NABMA’s year and on this occasion we are looking forward to the biggest attendance of NABMA delegates seen for the last ten years. In addition, we have also assembled an attractive Market Place Exhibition.

In planning this year’s Conference and AGM, NABMA would like to express special appreciation to a number of sponsors and supporters who have contributed to various aspects of the arrangements.

One of our main sponsors, Group Geraud, have sponsored various aspects of the Conference, including the publicity material, audio visual equipment and welcome reception.

Blachere Illuminations have arranged an exciting climax to the first day of the Conference with an illuminated tram ride around Blackpool’s world famous illuminations. This will also include a drinks reception on the trams during the illumination tour.

We are also grateful to City B Group for sponsoring the Sunday afternoon Golf Competition which is proving popular among delegates.

The authorities of Oswestry and Carmarthen are also supporting the Presidents Dinners on the Sunday and Monday night respectively. On Sunday night we will be having a Blackpool Experience and on the Monday night we will be holding a President’s Dinner with a Welsh theme. We are trying to make the events different in character but the support of Oswestry and Carmarthen have been helpful in making the appropriate arrangements.

Blackpool Council has also been very supportive of our event and are hosting a reception before the President’s Dinner on Monday night.

Without the support of all these sponsors and supporters we would not have been able to provide such an attractive programme at Blackpool. NABMA’s thanks and appreciation therefore goes out to all of them.
