What an inspirational day! Thank you to all who came and made this year’s Gathering possible. It wouldn’t have been possible without an incredible team of volunteers and speakers and a wonderfully engaged audience. Several recordings of the lectures and discussion are now available on Soundcloud here: http://bit.ly/SCCGathering2016Audio
Featuring talks from Angela Impey, Hugh Lupton, Doc Rowe, ShzrEe Tan, Sarah Elizabeth Edwards, Lucy Wright, Duncan Williams and Paul Wilson the day was as diverse as it was captivating. Soup, tea and words were all flowing. Here are some photos from the event.
