This had originally been scheduled as a physical event in April and was repurposed for online delivery.

It was an excellent session and will appear soon in the sport section of our Directors’ Cuts resource.
Dr Andrew Smith co-wrote a piece on ‘Parks in a Pandemic’ in Discover Society. Andrew also was a contributor to the online conference ‘Festivals, events and COVID-19: Navigating a global pandemic’ on 27 May.
