More information on the conference dinner will be available nearer the time.

Committee Dinner (29 October) (Invitation Only)
The committee dinner will be held at Secco, Newcastle. Secco is a three storey venue which specialises in good quality Italian drinking and dining inspired by the De Giorgi family's home region, Salentino in Southern Italy. Ristorante Salentino specialises in a superb interpretation of authentic, yet simple Italian food, using the finest, seasonal ingredients from Northumberland and the best of Southern Italian staples which is complemented by a wine list befitting the finest Italian enoteca. The restaurant received a Hardens Remy Award for best New Restaurant Opening in 2005, one of only 10 restaurants in the UK to achieve such an accolade.
