It was excellently run and you had all obviously worked very hard to make things run do smoothly. Thank you for everything. It was better beyond my wildest dreams! And I’ve made so many useful contacts.

Thank you so very much for a marvellous, memorable conference weekend. The quality and content of the talks and the sheer range of material presented was truly remarkable. Everyone appreciated everything you laid on and we made the most of it all…

I was totally bowled over by everything that happened in Liverpool

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

The conference was excellent, far exceeding my expectations! The speakers were all interesting, informative plus they held us all spellbound and riveted with both the content and manner of presentation.

The speakers were excellent, and, as at previous Researching FEPOW History Conferences, even subjects which I thought might be of comparatively … Continue reading Richard →

I always enjoy listening to knowledgeable speakers/lecturers on … Continue reading Susan →

Thank you all for organising a superb conference. It was definitely the best yet! All the logistics re hotel and venues worked brilliantly, and the range of speakers was fascinating…

We are so very glad we booked it, we found it to be informative and the quality of speakers was very high. We were thoroughly entertained. We both think it would be very hard to beat!

The range quality and subject of the presentations was quite remarkable… as doctors we were fascinated by Prof Gill’s history of the LSTM and its longstanding collaboration with FEPOW. The hotel was the ideal location. Thanks again for such a wonderful, stimulating, memorable and personally revealing conference.

Thank you all very much for such an interesting and well organised conference, I enjoyed every minute of it! The wide variety of topics that were covered by the guest speakers were very good; I learnt many new aspects about the POW´s and Internees lives during and after WWII. The two dinners were quite delicious … Continue reading Jane →
