The Green Blue Conference 2010
The Green Blue’s Annual
Conference, to be held in Glasgow on 9 of October, is supported
this year by GTG Training and Scottish Natural Heritage.
The programme, packed
with high quality speakers, will arm delegates with practical
information on how to save energy and resources at their facility,
whilst saving money in the process.
The conference is aimed
at anyone who works within the recreational marine industries such
as marinas, boatyards, and training centres whether inland or
coastal based and it will also prove useful to those who are active
in their local sailing and yacht clubs.
Tom Cunliffe, writer, broadcaster
and renowned sailor, will be giving the key note address and Stuart
McMillan, MSP, will draw the conference to a close. Delegates will
have the opportunity to learn more about
grants available for environmental initiatives in clubs,
marinas and businesses and hear about the latest developments in
marine legislation and wildlife crime.
Workshops will include
sessions on energy efficiency, invasive species and the economics
of recreational boating. GTG Training will also be running
PowerPoint and health and safety workshops so you can boost key
business skills and improve environmental performance at the same
time!
The cost for attending is
£30 for RYA and BMF members and £40 for non-members, which includes
refreshments, lunch and delegate pack. A social event is planned
for the evening of the 8th and The Green Blue has negotiated
special rates with local hotels.
