May 2023

Dear QUG supporter

Our annual conference in 2023 – Friday May 12th to Sunday May 14th at Woodbrooke and online

Universalism and Creativity – how creativity expresses and enhances spirituality across the world.

This is just a brief update about our last conference at Woodbrooke in Birmingham which starts in 8 days’ time.

We are delighted that nearly 50 participants will be at Woodbrooke. We hope to make it a really worthwhile farewell. We will be joined by about 20 people online.

There are still a few single rooms available at Woodbrooke (no doubles), and they can take some more day visitors.

There are plenty of places available online too.

If you are interested in joining us please apply as soon as possible, using the form at the end of this email or by looking at our website (https://qug.org.uk/conferences/conference-2023/).

Please note that a place can only be confirmed once you have paid: details are available on the form as to how to pay online.

We need to remind you that there is industrial action on the railways scheduled for 12th and 13th May: participants are coming by coach, bus or car.

We will write a fuller newsletter to you after the conference, probably in June.

If you have any questions please reply to this email or write to contact@qug.org.uk.

Best wishes

Tony Philpott (QUG Clerk)
