With this in mind we would like to remind all research students, and their supervisors, that the group awards a prize of L50 to what, in the opinion of the Group Committee, constitutes the best talk/poster presentation. In conjunction with the meeting, it is hoped that an electron backscatter diffraction workshop will be held on 9th March at Liverpool. Anyone interested in the workshop should contact Dave Prior, Department of Earth Sciences, Liverpool University, L69 3BX. Tel: 0151 794 5193. Fax. 0151 794 5196.
