A form was included with E2023 from which you will see that if bookings reach me by September 9 then the admission charge is discounted to £6.00 per person. Later bookings will attract a charge of £7.50. There have, during the last month, been further problems with postal deliveries with some first class letters taking up to one week to arrive. Could I suggest those who have not booked send off their forms and remittance this weekend if you wish to take advantage of the lower admission charge. Also, to safeguard against any lost deliveries, I have this year sent an e-mail acknowledgement to all those who have already sent in bookings and quoted an Internet address. I will continue to do this, normally within seven days of receipt of your payment. All bookings received up until Saturday September 4 have already been logged and acknowledgements sent. If you have not received an e-mail responding to your booking please e-mail or telephone the editor immediately. Programmes will probably not be posted until about 10 days before the meeting. Finally I now have a new PC projector to help with Powerpoint presentations at the meeting. However it would be helpful to also have a backup projector. If anyone is able to bring one along could you please e-mail the editor as soon as possible. Guy M Hurst
