Venue and costs
Situated midway between Cambridge and Milton Keynes, at the edge of the historic market town of St Neots and set in 380 acres of rural countryside is Wyboston Lakes Resort.
Our One Weekend 2025 event will be hosted in the Woodlands Event Centre, clearly signposted near to the entrance of the resort. This self-contained building has all the modern training rooms, refreshments, food and accommodation facilities that are required to ensure the weekend goes smoothly for you.
Wyboston Lakes is a cashless venue so only card payments will be accepted for drinks and incidentals.
There are a range of event packages available but please discuss with your branch in the first instance as your branch will cover the costs of your course.

You can sign up using the form below, which includes food and accommodation options for the One Weekend.
