the Nightingale Centre - http://www.thenightingalecentre.org.uk/index.php

These weekends have been very popular in the past, being a good opportunity to take some time out to focus on gender issues and discuss ideas, theories, methods and feminist praxis, as well as a great opportunity to network and socialise, take walks etc. It has even been known for conference papers and publications to stem from these weekends!
