Registration
All are welcome, and there is no registration fee for attendance. Please register using this registration form so that security passes can be arranged to allow you onto the RAL site.
We will go out in Didcot for dinner in the early evening. Please indicate on the form whether or not you'd like to join us when registering so we have a rough idea of numbers.
