UK MHD MEETING 2000

Note that there is still one slot available on Friday.

Talks will take place in room C14 in the Pope Building (see maps). This room has good facilities, including OHP, slides, video, and a networked PC.

Please aim to make your talk 15 minutes long, to allow time for questions after each talk.
