Very regrettably, the Bishop has had to make the decision to cancel the conference at Dunkeld in January 2021. The uncertainty about whether face-to-face meetings will be possible is a factor, but the main reason is that the Dunkeld House Hotel has decided to refurbish some of its conference rooms, which would therefore not be available to us.

Planning will begin soon for an online conference on Tuesday 19 January, following the pattern of SEI which now holds its ‘residential’ training weekends online. With long breaks between sessions, and keeping sessions short, it is possible to avoid the ‘zoom exhaustion’ many of us now feel.

A fully residential conference will take place either later in 2021 or in January 2022.
