Other group meetings as arranged 

This programme was correct at the time of going to print. If there are changes to the programme these will be given out in announcements 

and will be posted on the notice board. 

Where three presentations are listed, each paper should take 20 minutes including time for questions. Where two presentations are listed, 

each presentations should take 30 minutes including time for questions. 

We would ask people to respect the times given. We hope that the presenters will chair their sessions between them - that is, one can be the 

time keeper for another. 

We would also ask people to introduce themselves please – in a sentence or two – before starting their presentations.
