Exhibitors
The NAS was happy host a number of organisations who joined us as part of the Maritime Trade Display which ran in conjunction with the Conference. Exhibitors included:
Saturday 7th November 2009 - Beer and Skittles
On the Saturday evening after the conference the NAS hosted an informal Beer and Skittles tournament at the Royal Maritime Club, a chance to catch up with other members and speakers from the conference. The skittles tournement was once again undertaken with great gusto and saw Mike Williams retain his championship from 2008, this year playing with Ian Hamilton.
