Hello ACTR/ARTC Members and non-ACTR-Members of Candrama:
You will be happy to know (*I* certainly am!) that the ACTR/ARTCNewsletter
was mailed out yesterday. However, in the event -- should I say
certainty? --of a tardy mail service, I thought it might be useful to
distribute the St John's conference schedule on CANDRAMA. I hope this
will also be of interest to the subscribers of CANDRAMA *not* members of
ACTR/ARTC.
So ..... Here it is! It looks like an exciting conference indeed!
