Despite the economic recession our Sales & Marketing Team had a very successful year in 2011.
We hope 2012 will be just as good and the list of events that we expect to be attending is below.
We welcome offers of help from members and supporters of the Trust.
If you feel that you can help in any way, even if it is just a couple of hours we would love to hear from you.
No experience necessary - there's always someone there to help with queries.
