Yes, I enjoyed your session at the conference.

It would be great to meet up- Scripture Union does some great resources for under fives, and we're very glad to work with you to help and support for those who work in this area.

You can also get in touch with me via the playtime email address which is on the Care for the Family website.

We met at a conference last year, and you said something about being involved with SU on an informal level. I was wondering if you had any info about this?
