The Action for Market Towns Convention is the most important event in the market towns calendar. This year the convention - on 1&2 October - will run back-to-back with the annual conference in Skipton of Ruralnet, the rural development charity. A joint session with Ruralnet on 1 October means this will be the towns and rural event of the year.
