I'm a NATS ATCO and I heard nothing of this conference.

Then as a Prospect member you need to get yourself more informed.
Maybe reading the Prospect notice board in the briefing room would be a start. If I remember rightly the advance details for the ANNUAL CONFERENCE-there's a clue there somewhere-were displayed from around the end of July for a conference in early November.
Just who let who down?
And no, I'm not interested in participating myself.
Then you deserve what you are given. Remember the guys who can be bothered do so in their own time most of the time. They deserve the respect and support of all of us who aren't involved. things won't always go the way we think they should but when you get 5 minutes just think how things would be without their efforts.
Stop moaning or get involved.
