DCF Annual Meeting Presentations and Useful Links – June 2021
Posted : June 22, 2021

Thank you to you all for joining our annual meeting last week – we had a great attendance with nearly 70 members joining us and we really hope you found it as enjoyable and informative as we did. The only thing missing was the all-important chance for members to network and the lunch!

We’d like to thank all our speakers for taking the time to share their work with our members, and thank you to our attendees who tuned in to hear about the great work happening along the Dorset Coast.

We had some fantastic feedback about the morning and if you didn’t manage to attend or wanted to follow up on anything then you can view the presentation slides and meeting recording below.
