Fringe benefits

If you're in Manchester today do join us for Forest's annual fringe event at the Conservative party conference.

It's called Eat, Drink, Smoke, Vape and we're co-hosting it with the Tobacco Manufacturers' Association.

Venue is the rooftop lounge and terrace at Great John Street Hotel (above). We hired it a two years ago and, weather permitting, it's almost perfect for this type of event.

The hotel is outside the secure zone so you don't need a conference pass but you must register in advance because it has a limited capacity of 120.

If you've already registered, I'll see you later.
