Conference call, Meeting

[Lou Burnard]

I suspect there is a lot more choice and availability for flights 
between US and Brussells than between there and Goteborg.  Also, I think 
we might all enjoy the prospect of a change of location after a week in 
Goteborg... not that I have anything against the melancholy swedes of 
course.
