The format of the conference was as in previous years a series of short (~20 minute) plenary presentations of recent work in the field, normally by one of the authors of the work that was being presented. There were short introductions to some topic areas. Two talks were presented at the end of the meeting summarising what we had learnt.
The social programme included a conference dinner and a choice of:
| Cruise | We booked a cruise on a boat around Windermere. There were be opportunities to visit Lakeside where you delegates either visited the Aquarium of the Lakes or the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Steam Railway. |
| Walk | A walk on the hills, led by our very own T.Sloan. |
The conference dinner was held at Low Wood Hotel on the shores of Lake Windermere. Entertainment in the form of a demonstration of Morris dancing (a form of English folk dance) was provided.
A number of PCs running Linux were available to read email.
A number of PCs running Windows NT were also available.
The weather in the Lake District is strongly affected by the mountains and the nearby sea, and is therefore rather unpredictable. Temperatures can vary from 5C to 25C. Frequent and passing (?) showers are not unusual.
