The organisers of the 7th UK User Group meeting advise potential
participants of the meeting and seek contributions for presentation.

   Timberlake Consultants, the UK distributors of Stata.

Please send contribution submissions to either Bianca or Stephen as soon
as possible, and by the end of February 2001 at the latest.  Also get 
in touch with us please if you would like to discuss the suitability of 
a potential contribution.  Confirmation of the programme, cost and 
venue, and details of how to register will be circulated later, most 
likely soon after the end of February 2001.

The meeting will most likely follow the format of previous meetings,
i.e. a mixture of longer talks and shorter talks. Examples might
include quasi-academic talks about statistical or graphical methods
centred on new user-written ados, or how particular data management 
and (re)organisation or analysis problems have been solved. To get an 
idea of what a typical User Group meeting is like, take a look at the 
programmes and presentation abstracts of the previous User Group 
meetings, available at
          http://www.stata.com/support/meeting/ 
  
Bill Gould of StataCorp will be attending the meeting, 
accompanied by another member of the StataCorp development team, and 
make presentations. The content has not yet been decided (email us your 
preferences!) but, for obvious reasons, is likely to focus on the 
changes just introduced in version 7.0.

We look forward to hearing from you about your contributions.
