year takes place between 24 and 28 August 2006. Vernon Kay, who
entertained the delegates last year with his first ever presenting
audition tape, says:- ‘I've been presenting on television for
7 years now and it has been the most exciting, enthralling and
rewarding job I have ever had. There is so much that can be achieved
through television and media and it is an honour to give any help I
can to people starting out on a similar path.’
