This might be of interest to people- it's a bit of a trek, unless you're based in Northampton of course... anyway:

Northamptonshire Writers Conference

£15/10 including 2 intensive workshops and a buffet lunch

PFD agent Simon Trewin, Murder Squad crime writer Margaret Murphy; poet and Poetry School tutor Myra Schnieder; director and playwright Sol B River; performance poet Rob Gee; sci fi writer Steve Bowker; screenwriter Clare Ingham; Viking Commissioning Editor Kate Barker.

Sounds like maybe quite a good deal for the money given the quality of the workshop leaders?
