Workshop description:
The day is designed to give attendees a hands-on introduction to SVG.
There will be short introductory sessions on each aspect of SVG covered,
followed by hands-on sessions with delegates working on PCs. Attendees
will receive copies of a short Primer on SVG in addition to a workbook
for the practical sessions.
Most, but not all, delegates will have sole use of a PC. A small number
of delegates may be asked to share a PC with one other person. Because
of the nature of this workshop, the number of attendees is STRICTLY
LIMITED. We expect places to fill quickly - so early booking is STRONGLY
ADVISED.

Full details and a flyer/registration form for the workshop may be
downloaded from
http://www.xmluk.org/slides/RAL_2001/XMLUK_SVG_meeting.pdf. Registration
costs UKL 80/55/30 (details on form).

Do please pass this information on to any friends, colleagues, mailing
lists that you think may be interested. Hope to see some of you at the
conference or workshop!

Yours

Mark Stone
