Earlier notes
The conference will be held at the Open University, Milton Keynes. Although
tea and coffee will be provided, attenders will have to buy their own lunch
in the refectory, and we can go to the bar afterwards!
We have some exciting papers in mind, but further proposals would be
welcome. It would be helpful if you could reply by early April, especially
if you wish to give a paper, so that we may send out additional information.
This will also be carried at the web site along with the proposed papers.
The conference web site will be:
