The all important Saturday night social was also discussed and a table booked at the famous Master Chef restaurant in Liverpool. After a delectable feast we will undoubtedly head out for a little boogie in the great city which was European Capital of Culture in 2008. We also discussed the recent developments at all of the UK HIVE branches which will be covered in the second day of the conference. Finally, we think it is worth mentioning the new film release ‘Dallas Buyers Club’ which many of the committee have seen and highly recommend.
