Dear Bernard,
An invitation was sent to your Chief Officer in early September with the
assumption that key people would be informed in the institution, It was only
when we realised that the cascade had not worked too well that we posted the
note on the mailbase. So sorry.
We are travelling around the country meeting staff in institutions and
demonstrating the services with their own data. Would you like us to come
and see you?
Best wishes,
Gaie

be?
Delighted to know that such a seminar is being organised but with less than
a weeks notice it is impossible to reschedule. Is another planned and could
longer notice be given.
Kind regards
