Committee
CYPG is run by a small, voluntary committee. We are keen to ensure that we deliver exactly what you want so, should you have specific interests that does not already feature on the calendar, then simply let us know.
Below, you can find a bio on each of the committee members. If you are thinking of joining, please feel free to chat to any of us at an upcoming event.
