I would like to add my thanks to the organisers of the meeting. It's
always a bit worrying to cart equipment a long way from home in the hope
that everything arrives on time and in the right place. The GSA staff
were most helpful and on the ball. Added to this I learned a lot and
had a very good time.
Regards to all,
Carl (Singer)
