The Annual Conference has an important role to play in the organisation of the Fellowship. However, the official business of any conference is usually disposed of in half a day and the rest of the time is devoted to lectures, outings and entertainment. A report on the 2007 Conference, held in Philadelphia, will appear in the Winter 2007 issue of The Dickensian.
