Autumn Meeeting 2008

Wednesday, November 12, 2008
at The Royal Marsden, Fulham Road, London

Host : Ian Judson

Start : 9 am UK time (10 am CET)
Underground: South Kensington

The meeting will be held in conjunction with CTOS starting November 13th with the SARC meeting at The Landmark Hotel, Marylebone / Regents Park, Central London. As this hotel is much too expensive to stay for most of the group members, we decided to hold the group meeting at The Royal Marsden. Everybody should be able to fly into London in the morning and be there in time.
