Dear all, Many thanks for all your replies, and the remarkably small number of o-o-o announcements (only six). I have collated all responses received to date, arranged them alphabetically, and added the (anonymised) comments made by the people who sent them in, where appropriate. I haven't had time to look at all of the sites yet, but I know that there are other people who would like this information too, so I thought I might as well circulate the list now. Thanks again to everyone who responded.
