 WORKSHOPS and BRIEFING SESSIONS

 This year the group sessions will comprise nine workshops
 and nine briefing sessions running concurrently on Monday
 afternoon, and repeated on Tuesday morning and again on
 Tuesday afternoon.  Delegates can attend a different workshop
 or briefing session at each of these three times and are
 requested to indicate their preferences on the delegate booking
 form.  As the workshops will be generally practical and
 participative in nature, attendance will be limited to 20.  Briefing
 sessions will be more akin to lectures, allowing larger numbers
 to be accommodated, although delegates will still have the
 opportunity for questions and discussion.
