It was great to see so many list members at our economics teacher meeting
in Reading before Christmas.
If you are looking for an event to attend at the end of the Summer 2006
term, might I suggest that you consider coming to our Economics Teacher
Conference on Tuesday 27 June 2006. Details below.
I'm delighted that Hamish McRae and Ian Stewart have already agreed to run
sessions at the event and we are hopeful that another (very) well known
economist will be able to present his perspectives as well (tbc)
Thanks
