Re: A TV programme on KC

Hi Steven We felt it best to let members approach the TV production company directly if they wished to get involved with the programme they're proposing. We often get approached by medical professionals, research organisations, media, government and QANGO organisations etc. to provide input into the...

Re: 2014 AGM

Thanks all for the contributions. While we would love to be able to offer a streaming facility to the AGM and have considered this, the venue we have hired is not set up to offer this easily -- so we'd have to use a 3G connection and/or WiFi hotspot -- neither of which are sufficiently reliable to p...
