Conference call, Meeting

[Lou Burnard]

I have no strong objection to making the council meeting adjacent to the
allc/ach conference and see the logic of doing so, though it probably
means the schedule for getting P5 published will slip further.

My diary has the Goteborg meeting finishing wed 16th. Amazingly enough,
there are directly daily flights between Goteborg and Brussells,
operated by Sabena and by Malmo Aviation. Journey time 100 mins, price
about 70 GBP; Brussells is about 30 minutes by train from Gent.

So, I suggest that we stick with a Thu/Fri/Sat pattern, and go for 17/18
June.
