This looks great - esp for me - I'm a heritage development officer for a seaside borough, but the cost is prohibitive - it would be half my entire sections training budget for the year - any ideas on how we can convince EH to do something a bit cheaper

You are absolutely right Trudie. As a development officer do you belong to ALGAO? If so, maybe they could lobby EH to open up these conferences to appropriate professionals as part of their professional development programme. Try contacting Bob Hook at EH (bob.hook@english-heritage.org.uk).
