  24. eastsussex.gov.uk Network Managers Forum • Network Managers Forum • NMF costing voting results: • Currently the most popular option for Network Managers Costing (emailed voting system before summer hols) has been Option 1, which is: • Tea/coffee on arrival with a bacon/egg roll & Tea/coffee at break with Danish pastry • At the last NMF it was suggested by a network manager to the forum to charge an annual fee for the year for all 3 NMF and costs to be inclusive, I feel this is a good idea as this should cover costs for hire, coffee/refreshments/food and cuts down our admin time to charge delegates (i.e. run once from our end).  • So in April 2013 we will charge delegates £39 per person (tbc nearer time) as a one off cost for the year for all 3 NMF hosted sessions during the year with refreshments as listed above. • Please note - When booking onto the November forum your school will be charged a single charge of £13.00 per person to cover the costs of the forum attended.  01273 482519 sas@eastsussex.gov.uk czone.eastsussex.gov.uk/sims
