SHIF
Open Forum Meetings
SHIF aims to run three Open Forum meetings a year.
These usually take place on a Friday in March, June and October.
The AGM of the organisation is usually held at the June meeting.
Each Open Forum focuses on a particular topic or area of
interest. There is a programme of
speakers and time for discussion. Whenever
possible the discussion takes place in small groups so that everyone gets a
chance to take part.
We aim to
keep the charges for each meeting as reasonable as possible.
SHIF members always pay a lower amount – an attraction of becoming a
member!
Presentations
are available below in both PowerPoint (ppt) and Acrobat (pdf) formats. Click on
