Mechanics
We will be based in the Latner room at St Peter's, immediately to the right
on entering the college from New Inn Hall street. We will have an OHP and a
computer data-show. There is a white board, though it is not terribly convenient to use.
Bring your talk on a memory stick, bring a laptop, or overheads.
A fairly simple buffet lunch will be provided. Please let me know right away
if you have any dietary requirements.
