Subject: Next FED meeting (Fri 22 July)
Dear all,
 
This to announce the next FED UK meeting and a draft agenda.
 
Note it is NOT our usual room (see attached map)
 
Geoff is at RAL next Friday, but is only available in the afternoon.
 
I know that Geoff and Jon will be coming.
 
But could anyone else planning to attend the meeting please let me know today so that I can inform security to let you in.
 
Owing to the bombings in London RAL is on a high state of alert. Cars may be searched at the gate. And visitors refused entry if they are not on gatehouse list.
 
The documents for tomorrow's meeting will be put on the web by Friday morning.
 
If anyone has any material they wish to present could they please send to me at least one hour before the meeting.
 

We have a conference phone, but we will have to phone out to each participant.

Could all those wishing to participate please let me know the number they wish to be called on and we will call at 13:30 (UK)

 
And finally, I'm afraid you will need to bring your own refreshments to the meeting room tomorrow, Apologies.
 
As 904 is up and running we propose to hold future FED meetings at CERN, ~ once a month.
 
Cheers  John
