The Northern Section provides support for members living or working in Cumbria, Lancashire, and parts of Manchester and Merseyside that lie north of the River Mersey dividing line. The impact of the new Wales region on the format of the Northern Section and the area covered is still being considered, however we remain committed to delivering two high quality seminars per year to the northern end of the North West region.
