The 2022 Spring Conference was held at the Tythe Barn, Bicester on Wednesday 6th April, 2022, our first conference since autumn 2019 due to Covid! Both the conference attendance and presentations were excellent.

An informal conference dinner was held at the Chesterton Hotel on the Tuesday evening and was enjoyed by speakers, guests and BSB Executive committee members.

The Spring BSB Conference lived up to its promise to provide advice, strategy, and vision for your business and a forum for discussion. Peter Baker did a fantastic job as Session Chairman all the presentations.
