Gordon cannot attend this year and this is an appeal to anyone attending who may be able to bring along either, as a reserve for any difficulties with the main equipment. Please e-mail the editor if you can help. MESSAGE BACKLOG As anticipated there is a considerable backlog of over 800 e-mails and a large amount of post following the editor's return from Italy. Some of this relates to late bookings for the annual meeting which hopefully will be processed this weekend. In the event you do not receive a programme or an e-mail acknowledgement by mid-week please contact the editor. If there are any remaining messages which are urgent please re-send with 'URGENT' in the subject line. Guy M Hurst
