Hi all;  there are a couple of reasons for this message:

	. to encourage anyone who has not yet told me they are likely
	  to be coming to the meeting to do so NOW.  The cut-off date
	  has passed and I am now living on good-will to keep a couple
	  of room bookings open.  In particular I haven't heard anything
	  from Herman - or anyone from the Netherlands.

	. to let you know that the UK is intending (assuming that final 
	  tranches of funds become available) to host an evening out on
	  the Tuesday evening, 20-May.  Dress is optional;  I won't be 
	  wearing mine.

	. to remind you that the meeting room rate includes all meals,
	  whether you take them or not.  From personal experience I can
	  advise you that you are likely to leave a little heavier than
	  when you arrive.

	. to ask anyone with special dietary requirements to send me details
	  as soon as possible so that Crossmead are brought up to speed.

	. a few people asked if it might be possible to stay at Crossmead
	  on the Thursday night.  I have explained to the booking office
	  that all of you are relying on flight schedules and do not yet
	  have your travel plans fixed - they are holding two or three
	  rooms for that night for those of you who might want them.
	  Please let me know as soon as you can if you wish to stay that
	  extra night.

	. we are in the process of wiring Crossmead to the Internet this
	  month.  I hope to be able to use one of the rooms that we have
	  wired up for the meeting in May, so watch this space - it may
	  be worth bringing along your Ether cards.  We expect to be able
	  to support BNC (Cheapernet) and twisted pair connections.

	. I'm currently planning to provide an HP LaserJet 5MP printer
	  and to hire in a photocopier, just in case Jim can't ship all
	  the necessary paperwork by bulk carrier.

Cheers,
