I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all of you who attended and contributed to a vibrant meeting and also to those who sent their reports .
Many thanks to MariaLuisa for all your work and efficiency in organising the meeting, lunch and visit and for sending a thank you letter to the Ashmoleon Museums. Many thanks also to Alasdair for hosting us at the Weston Library. It is always a pleasure to be in this building.
In advance of the minutes (to be published on the website), I would like to share with you a brief summary of the key points we discussed and to incite "thoughtful feedback" through this list prior to our next meeting and also add a point on the Pearson Memorial Lecture, for the discussion of which, we run out of time.
Starting with the latter, the next MELCOM UK meeting is being fused with the MELCOM International conference held in Cambridge 3-5/6 July 2017.
As the first meeting of MELCOM took place in Cambridge in 1967 (before MELCOM International branched out in 1979), the two boards agreed that commemorating 50 years of MELCOM is worth sharing with the MELCOM community at large.
Thus the Pearson Memorial Lecture will be integrated in the programme.

Please share your ideas for solutions with the list or direct them to me.We started a discussion on Acquisitions from the Middle East and came to the valuable conclusion that -at least as a trial- we should meet as a smaller group of interested members before the summer.
