URGENT UPDATE: Postponement of the Black Country Primary PE and Sport Conference

Having carefully monitored the ongoing impact of the coronavirus and taking soundings from colleagues, public health stakeholders and delegates, we have reluctantly taken the difficult decision to cancel the Primary PE Conference on the 27th March at Wolverhampton Racecourse.

It has been a very difficult decision, however, having weighed up all the factors, maintaining the health and safety of colleagues and partners is paramount in our mind and we do not want to contribute to the risk.

We also appreciate that many of you will be dealing with your own challenges in the face of this unprecedented situation. We apologise for any inconvenience caused but we hope you can appreciate that this is a fast moving situation and we have acted with your interests in mind and as swiftly as we can.

As you can imagine a great deal of effort has gone into the preparations for the event already from speakers, facilitators, exhibitors and event organisers, and we would like to thank them for their support and patience.

We will continue to monitor the situation to determine when it will be possible to rearrange the event and will be in touch in due course.

If you have any question please email Tim Aldred.
