CBR event in Bath July 10th

I have just launched the sign up which is available here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/esszt387KE

Bringing newcomers and old hands together to discuss UK CBRN related policy and practice.

The day promises to be both thought provoking and memorable - and is a great opportunity to meet folk you never knew existed who also deal with CBR related issues.
