Members were concerned that only 1 Member attending would not be sufficient, considering there were various workshops that were held at the same time. Members were informed that 2 officers present were also attending the Conference. Members felt it was important to ensure that a Member and 2 officers could cover the whole Conference and the Democratic Services Manager was requested to prepare a report on this. RESOLVED: That the Democratic Services Manager report back to the next meeting on coverage of available training at the Annual Licensing Conference.
