September 2012 newsletter

The newsletter is a little unclear in the meeting announcement, but Jill wanted to get this information out asap.  Therefore we can confirm that the Friday 26 October meeting will take place in the Wilkins Haldane Room, which is in the same UCL building as we have used for the last two meetings.  

The address details are given in the newsletter and there will be notices around to direct you.  It's not far from the Old Refectory.

The next two meetings have also been booked for 22 March 2013 and 5 July 2013.
