Spring meeting – call for papers
We have booked the Farringdon Room at St.Bride Foundation for our popular Spring Meeting. When the late Alan Crocker was Chairman he started the Spring Meeting as an opportunity for members to present topics that might be of interest to the rest of the membership. These topics can be short or long talks, videos, demonstrations or anything that is linked in some way, however tenuous, to paper.
Holding the meeting on a Wednesday seems to work well for members and helps with cheaper train fares. We plan to start at 11am with coffee and finish at 5pm with a complimentary glass of wine, there is a break for lunch when delegates can visit the local hostelries or bring their own sandwiches.
There is plenty of opportunity and a need for members to contribute. So please put the date of 1st March 2023 in your diary and if you have something you would like to contribute, or if you have ideas for contributions please contact us.
