************************************************************************
Your Committee will be meeting at the British Museum on August 9th. One
of the main items for discussion will be subscriptions - at what level
they should be set, and when we should start collecting them. Any views
on this are welcome, bearing in mind that last year's questionnaire
suggested that most members would be willing to pay an annual
subscription of around 10 UKP.
Membership of this e-mail list will remain free for the foreseeable
future, but simply subscribing here will not be considered membership of the
Museums Computer Group.
