This is a reminder that the inaugural meeting of a proposed York local group of the RSS takes place on Feb 14th. We are very lucky that David Spiegelhalter has agreed to start us off: Title: "League tables, rankings and regression-to-the-mean: using animations and graphics for public communication" Date: Feb 14 Place: ARRC building lecture theatre, University of York Time: 5.15 David is a terrific speaker and it should be a really good meeting. I hope to see you there, Martin -- *************************************************** J.
