I've just waded through my notes from this year's A&E Middle Grade meeting in Plymouth. Thank you to the organizers (Ken Nesbitt and Ian Stewart) and all the contributors for another execllent meeting. I havn't seen any mention on this list of the meeting's content. The list of topics covered at Plymouth was as follows, and I have summaries (my own) on some of them, and could probably remember who gave the presentations if you needed more info. If there are any middle grades or proper doctors on the list who would be interested in further details, please Email me DIRECTLY (address below, NOT to the mailing list) requesting which bit(s) you're interested in. (The whole lot comes to more than 10 pages on Word, hence titles only here).
