The HBA Spring Conference was held in Blackpool from 31st March to 2nd April at the Hilton Hotel on the Seafront.

Rookwood Sound was well represented with 10 members traveling from Cardiff for the weekend and joined by another for the Awards Gala dinner on the Saturday evening! Through the weekend - armed with cameras we snapped our away around Blackpool to keep you informed!
