      Hi Anne,

      Confirmation should be on its way to you now. We are aware of some issues with different Dept security / firewall settings with Eventbrite, but for future reference you can use a personal device to register, or try an alternative browser - just ensure you use your work email address though as otherwise it won't pass validation and will be removed.

      Hi Margaret

      The Glasgow event was on Tuesday....but we're hoping to get to Edinburgh and Aberdeen in the not too distant future and then go back to Glasgow to run it again.

      PS - not sure how the old blog stayed live.....must be user error (me!)
