Dear Colleagues,

LONDON MIST 1999

Could I remind you that this year's autumn MIST meeting in London
will be on Friday 26th November at the Geological Society Lecture
Room, Burlington House, Piccadilly beginning 10.30 am (coffee
available in the Geological Society library from 10.00am). A
sandwich lunch (for a small charge) and afternoon tea will also
be provided. The abstract deadline is 8 November, and the
programme will be published shortly after that date. Details are
on the web at:

http://www.nerc-bas.ac.uk/public/uasd/mist.html#autumn99

The lecture room must be vacated by 5.30 pm, but proceedings
usually continue informally over a pint at the "Walkers of St
James" pub in Duke Street (across Piccadilly from Burlington
House). Many thanks to the Royal Astronomical Society for
supporting our London meetings.
