The 2009 FACHRS Annual Conference hopes to explore
these topics and stimulate debate surrounding the era that was subsequently
perceived as an era of high moral standards that some would have return.
This energetic conference will be held on the Saturday of a Bank Holiday
weekend so that delegates may derive maximum benefit with the possibility of
a 'stop-over' during their trip to London. There is a
Sunday morning activity.
