Given the current state of the public transport system, a suggestion has been made about the possibility of a car-sharing scheme to facilitate travel to the RGS-IBG annual conference in Plymouth 2nd-5th January 2001 (see www.geog.plym.ac.uk for a full conference programme and the abstracts of papers being presented). Although the detailed travelling arrangements of individuals will no doubt be complex and may make such a scheme unworkable, I think it may be worth a try. Could those of you who are interested please contact me at the address below indicating if you are (or might) bring a car, how many passengers you can take, your route, time of travel etc. I will then see if we can help to match cars and passengers.
