OK so the last two IBG general meetings of the SCGRG have been
told to cut below this level - since 1 full, 1 joint and two pg is
basically the whole length of the conference (and we don't
ghettoize pgs off into sessions either) - either misunderstood or
misconveyed perhaps. But we ignored it one year and were told the
same again the next, so we did limit sessions, only to find the
Kingston cttee had then added in sessions in social and cultural
geography under their own auspices.
Obviously people taking lessons in how to win friends and influence
people.
