Bookings can now be made at prices that have been held at the 2002

Admission and tea/coffee   £6.00 (if booking received by  Sept 10)
                            £7.50 (bookings received after Sept 10)

Optional three course cooked luncheon:                       £7.00

As you will know the TA meetings have been well attended in the past 
and, in due course, we will extend this invitation to non-subscribers as 
well. You are therefore strongly urged to book NOW especially as this 
also enables you to obtain a saving on the admission charge.

Exhibition
We encourage observers to bring along examples of their work and 
achievements over the last year so we can exhibit such material at our 
meeting. Please send brief details of your exhibit to the editor with a 
rough indication of space needed. If unable to attend please initially 
e-mail the editor with details of material and we may still be able to 
display it on your behalf.

A booking form is being sent in the next circular.
