The first announcement:
-------------------------
In the light of increasing commercial interest, I suggest the theme:
COMMERCIAL BIOMIMETICS
The formula for the meeting will carry on the successful Reading ones.
Preliminary timings look like this:
09.00 - 09.30 Registration and coffee
09.30 - 11.00 Session 1 (3 or 4 papers) 11.00 - 11.30 Coffee 11.30 - 12.30
Session 2 (2 or 3 papers) 12.30 - 13.30 Lunch 13.30 - 14.30 Session 3
(Coffee and posters) 14.30 - 16.00 Session 4 (3 or 4 papers) Tea and depart
So - a maximum of 11 20-minute papers or minimum of 8 30-minute papers.
We'll
probably have a mixture. Plus posters (taken with the after-lunch coffee).
Cost will be £35, which includes the slap-up boozey lunch with which the
Reading meeting has become synonymous.

Since I have left this a bit late, I'd be grateful for a reply as soon
as possible. Please let me know if you want to present a paper, exhibit
a poster, or just sit in the audience. I can provide a 'proper'
registration form later, but am a little rushed today. I also apologise
for any cross-posting as I try to flood the biomimetics world with this
information!
