National Conferences 

The National Race Officials Conference was held at Wyboston Lakes Conference Centre on the 7th and 8th February 2015.

National Conferences for all Race Officials are generally held every other year, alternating with the Regional Conferences.  They are organised by the RYA.

Attendance at a Conference (or Seminar), once every four years, is a requirement for re-appointment of Regional and National qualifications.
