Return to Tradition...

In the light of some disparaging comments received about the format of last years conference the BNTVA trustees have taken a long hard look at the delivery of conference events within the nuclear community.

Drawing on the heritage of the traditional BNTVA Blackpool event and the comments received following last years event we are determined to take next year’s back to its roots, back to the members with a traditional Saturday event followed by the

Gala Dinner.

We are also returning to a spring event as we have a busy autumn in the community with the All Tests Reunion at Sand Bay, The French Nuclear Veterans Annual Conference, National Atomic Veterans Awareness Day and Remembrance Sunday.

Returning to the long established weekend format, guests will be able to arrive Friday afternoon/evening or Saturday morning, depending on their travel arrangement and other commitments.

The main event will commence at 10:00h on Saturday, with a Gala Dinner at 19:00h on the Saturday evening. Day visitors to the conference will be free of charge but day visitors wishing to attend the Gala Dinner will be required to contribute to the meal and entertainment cost.

Sunday will be departure day but, we are looking to organise a morning trip out before everyone heads home.

Location wise we are currently looking at accessible venues in both the Midlands and the North so we may even be on for a return to Blackpool!

We will have decided on a venue and will get all the details out in the near future.
