197th Ordinary Meeting and Summer Meeting

The 197th Ordinary Meeting and Summer Meeting of the Region will be held on
Tuesday June 12th at the Sandwich Laboratories of Pfizer Limited (Sandwich
Laboratories, Pfizer Limited, Sandwich, Kent, CT13 9NJ, Tel: 01304 616161).
We are grateful to Pfizer Limited for sponsoring this meeting, and there is,
therefore, no charge for attending the meeting. However, due to limited
space at the meeting (maximum 50 visitors), it will be essential to register
in advance for this meeting. Places will allocated on a first-come,
first-served basis, with priority given to Biometric Society members before
guests.
Registration forms should be returned to Pfizer (address below) by Friday
June 1st.
The day will consist of a series of talks giving a flavour of some of the
areas of biometrics which are covered within a large pharmaceutical company.
In addition to the talks, participants will be able to take a coach tour of
the site.
