conference 2010 Timeline
Dear All,
Well, we’ll
all have to get used to a new acronym now then – the RGS have granted us full research group status at last!! So we are officially now piggy-rig … we had the
foresight to call ourselves PyGyRG on our website from the start, although the
address is http://pygywg.org/ -
please keep using this, it may take us a while to get that changed.
Secondly, and it
seems so far away I know, and not that long since some of us were in sunny
Manchester this summer, but the RGS is already starting to gear up for
conference 2010, which will be 1-3 september in London.
Below are the key
dates to be aware of. Can I encourage anyone interested in (co)convening any
session to e-mail titles and perhaps some idea of format to me the week
beforehand (24th Nov.), so the PygyRG (loving the new name!!)
committee can discuss if need be …
2009 we had all our
7 proposed sessions approved.
AND we’ve had
agreement from RGS to hold sessions in publically-accessible space
again this year, providing we can organize it - worth bearing in mind
when you’re brainstorming sessions … though there are no guarantees
we’ll do our best (if anyone has contacts with community centres/local
organisations in South Kensington please do get in touch!!)
OK best wishes to
all pygyrg-ers out there!

When submitting sessions, the Society will ask for 5 keywords to
describe each session. This will help identify sessions that may be
complimentary, or overlap, and will help with planning. These will also be
used to allow an additional way to view sessions on the conference website
(by keyword).
We look forward to receiving all your interesting sessions and calls
for papers soon.
Best wishes,
