Registration

All are welcome, and there is no registration fee for attendance. Please register with Tyrone Rees (tyrone.rees@stfc.ac.uk) so that security passes can be arranged to allow you onto the RAL site.

We will go out in Didcot for dinner in the evening. Please indicate whether or not you'd like to join us when registering so we have a rough idea of numbers.
