Online 2020 NAWGfest is over

Henry Curry • 6 September 2020

Now we're planning future events...

The NAWG team were delighted that more than 60 people registered for activities over the weekend of 4th to 6th September. There were superb workshops & talks, some of which were over-subscribed, and great fun was had. Friends met up virtually,  and I am sure we all learned a lot - especially about video conferencing!  A huge thanks to all those that took part (and the organisers) and there will be more news and pictures of prize-winners soon.

Thank you to all those who provided feedback !
