BGS Fringe

If you have time, and had any contact with the Fringe at the BGS autumn meeting in Leicester, please do fill in the questions in the post-conference feedback survey -- it will really help this year's organizers plan future events. @gerisoc #BGSFringe19

"Stool charts are not as Romantic as Brahms" -- just one of the surprising moments at the poetry writing workshop at #BGSFringe19 (especially for the non-medical Fringe team!) 😄

If you came to the Fringe yesterday, a) thanks for your great participation, wit and wisdom, and b) please fill in the Fringe questions on the post-conference survey, and comment here about it -- feedback and a sense of the impact is crucial for this year's team! Thank you!
