  • Powys Communities First Conference

    28th Nov 2008

     

    The second Powys Communities First Conference took place on 20th November 08, and attracted a crowd of nearly 120 people to the Royal Welsh Showground for a day of keynote speeches, speedy workshop sessions, presentations from the 3 Communities First Partnerships in Powys—and a hog roast!

    Delegates were greeted at reception with a comprehensive pack of notes for the Conference, which included a complimentary pen advertising the Communities First Powys website www.commfirstpowys.org.uk , and a Powys Communities First promotional calico bag to take away information goodies from nearly 30 display stands.*
