Nigel Harper organised this meeting as a joint venture with the Royal Society of Medicine. This gave us access to their highly experienced secretariat and of course a most prestigious venue. Geoff Nunn organised the trade liaison and all in all it seems that it has been a successful venture.
A highlight of the meeting was the appearance of Ted Eger for which we are particularly grateful to Baxter who underwrote the costs of his visit.
A meeting in the UK at the end of February was of course a severe test of the ALFA tradition of fine weather. All in all it was pretty good, thought he rain did come as the meeting drew to an end.
