Dear All
I am absolutely delighted to read that so many of you received a delegate guide! Great!
Just me, I have nothing!! So forgive me if I repeat this request. Kindly put the name of the hotel, address and phone no on the programme website, with a max amount for taxi. I am a steady believer in Murphy's law, so please use this backup method, too.
Or just anyone who received that wonderful guide, send this 1 bit of info to me privately.
Cheers Ingo
