Euroscicon comments
The chair Dr David Whitehouse was a very good chair. He gave a nice introduction to the topic (he had several slides) and mentioned all the housekeeping points. He always asked questions of the speakers if none were forthcoming from the delegates initially.

All the speakers were very good and gave interesting talks.

The poster winners were Emma Andrews and William Rivenberg

Exhibitors

The exhibitors seemed pleased with the meeting, as although the numbers weren’t large the people were well focused on their area of interest.
The feedback from reflects this and we got an A (excellent) for the meeting being beneficial to the needs of the company)

Soiree

Quite a large number of people seemed to set out for the soiree, but when at 4.55pm there were only the Chairman, Ralph Rapley, and one of the speakers present, although some of the people staying in the hotel were expected to appear later

Feedback Prize
Richard McGonagle won the champagne.

Thanks everyone for your help, good to see great feedback
