We attended the CBA
South-East Conference and AGM on Saturday – where we met some very interesting
people and had a fantastic time!
While we didn’t attend
the lecture sessions, the feedback we got from those who did was fantastic!

Just about everyone there (with a few exceptions) pulled a Christmas cracker with us too!
From our point of view, we found yet again that there is a great deal of interest in our insurance services - and we were able to provide quotes 'on the spot' for a number of individuals, local societies and commercial businesses. Of course we will be following up all of those enquiries in the coming days - and getting some new clients on cover!
As for the location –
the Surrey History Centre – well, that was also fantastic! What a great resource – and what a change
from the usual look and feel of the county records office!
