The Committee will once again this year offer 10 travel bursaries of up to £250 each to members who have registered and attend the conference. The 10 bursaries will be allocated on a first come, first served basis though preference is given to those who have not previously received a conference travel bursary.
The successful applicants will be provided with an expense claim form which must be completed (and receipts attached) and returned to the operations team within two weeks of the conference taking place. The maximum amount available is £250 per applicant. Mileage will be reimbursed at a rate of 45 pence per mile. Only standard class travel will be reimbursed.
