Welcome!

UPDATE (17 MARCH 2020): 2020 WECU CONGRESS CANCELLED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS

Unfortunately, we have had to cancel the 2020 WECU Congress at Easter (10-13 April 2020). Entry fee refunds will be given where applicable, but please bear with us on this.

For those who have paid for accommodation in advance, it is possible that hotels will be forced to cancel reservations themselves at some point, so hopefully refunds will be available from them.

Apologies for any inconvenience. We are sure you will appreciate that we had little choice and it would only have been a matter of time before the decision was taken out of our hands.

Kind regards,
Meyrick Shaw [Congress Secretary & Treasurer]
