Geoff Nunn organised this meeting in the historic city of York. Drager put on a horse and carriage and again the weather was lovely.

The dinner was held in St Williams College just a stones throw from York Minster. The dinner was enlivened by one Dante Ferrara a strolling Elizabethan minstrel and the finest Australian Shiraz that most of us had had the pleasure to drink.

This meeting saw the start of what has become an ALFA tradition, the inclusion of an "off-topic" (but tenuously related) presentation.
