Camp Betty TIMETABLE - Click on link to download PDF

We are still collecting workshops for Camp Betty, although our 'official' deadline has closed. This is mainly about having time to publish the workshop blurbs in the reader. If you're still keen to submit a workshop, head over the Submit a Workshop page and you'll still be included in the program (unless we run out of venues to host workshops!). We also hope to have some open spaces over the Camp Betty weekend, so new workshops can be added at any time. Get your workshop in quick!
