BADGP’s next annual seminar will be about corrosive substances on Wednesday 30th September at Stratford Manor Hotel, Warwick Road, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 0PY.

Want to know your acids from your alkali’s? Want to better understand why some can’t mix? Then this is the seminar for you.

With presentations ranging from classification considerations to spillage incident scenarios, we will look at the world of corrosives and for the first time include a panel discussion to end the day.

This seminar will be accompanied by one of our now infamous BADGP series of guides, covering Class 8 corrosives, to add to your ever-growing collection.

Book early to ensure your attendance and that you get your corrosives guide as numbers will be limited.

Exhibition & Sponsorship

As at previous events we will be hosting an exhibition of products and services of interest to our members. If you are interested in Sponsorship opportunities, please contact the BADGP Office, enquiries@badgp.org.

BADGP are pleased to announce that we have published the recording of our webinar, National Dangerous Goods Awareness Day 2026.

The webinar recording is available to view on the BADGP You-Tube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@britishassociationdangerou4089. Please remember to 'like' and 'subscribe' to the channel.

The recording of the webinar Q&A session is available to view on the National Dangerous Goods Awareness Day page of the BADGP website.

BADGP have traditionally held the AGM on a Thursday and if we book the corresponding date for 2027 (18th March 2027), it clashes with the Cheltenham Festival. This means whilst a meeting room is available for the event, rooms for members to stay are VERY expensive, and this is likely to have a knock on effect on accommodation throughout the area.

Moving the event back one week would then possibly be half term for some regions which may impact attendance.

Another option to be explored is changing the day from the traditional Thursday to another day, Tuesday or Wednesday being the obvious choices, as Monday and Friday are notoriously difficult days for travel.

We are, therefore, asking members to vote for your preference of AGM date. Please access the voting form using the link below. We would appreciate your response by Friday 24th July, thank you.
