Hi Paul Thanks for the message. > > Replying in one longish go as I get stuff digestified .... ... > > Too true. We're faced with the same problems.

Last year's workshop at Newcastle was well-received (apart from the lack of vegetables!). One comment that several people made was the importance of discussion sessions. This year we've tried to provide more time for discussions. As well as the parallel sessions (similar format to last year) on the morning of day 3 there will be an exhibition, consisting of demonstrations and posters from commercial vendors, national projects and services, and delegates themselves. There will also be an opportunity in this slot for Birds of a Feather sessions. Although the workshop officially finishes at lunchtime, there will be a regional .gamut meeting in the afternoon. Other regional groups will be invited to attend this meeting, which may look at things that can be done on a regional basis. Brian %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
