Now that the Conference is over, push bikes is now in 'de-brief' mode and would welcome
comments from delegates or speakers on any aspect of the 'weekend'. Feedback, whether good or bad, is always welcome and we
will pass this information, if appropriate, on to the CTC so that future conference events may be improved.
The 'Friday' pub was rather cheap and cheerful - we became aware of this as the evening went on.
It would have also helped if we could have shut out some daylight in the Conference which unfortunately detracted from the quality of the images
projected on the screen.
If you can pass feedback to us, please do so by e-mail to: contact(at)pushbikes.freeserve.co.uk
We were asked if the speakers' speeches would be available - we will ask the speakers if they can supply their speeches in
electronic format. We also hope to have their presentations available for download.
