Hi Marian
Good point, I will stick my neck out and say that we would expect our
"normal" contingent of around 30 as we do not have any big catches
this year such as joint meetings or themes. In which case I would be
confident that a sandwich lunch would be great. Dave Waters is coming
across to give the keynote and I will speak to him and see whether he
needs to stay over, but I suspect not. In which case we can gather
whoever is around and go for a pub meal in the evening.
Incidentally, Pete Treloar has agreed to be new chair and Kate Brodie
secretary. And this is your last year as Treasurer I'm sure you will
be glad to hear so perhaps at the meeting we can suggest some names to
forewarn for next year about taking over.
Thanks
Craig
