Dear Colleague,Here is the provisional programme for the Soufriere Hills meeting on 27 November. There will be an extended abstracts volume available at the meeting (including contributions not being presented orally). The programme may well change before then and I will notify all speakers of any new schedule beforehand.Please let me know of any changes to the speakers or titles listed. If you are a programmed speaker I will take silence from you to indicate you intend to give the paper. The schedule is very tight so your delivery needs to be disciplined. The Geol. Soc. has dual screens which can be either slides or overheads. There is limited space for 3 (6 x 4 ft) poster boards in the Lower Library so if you have got something you want to display ,bring it ,but let me know beforehand. Get any slides in to the projectionist well before the start of your session. If you are not a member of the Geological Society you will be charged £10 at registration, £5 for students. I look forward to a rewarding meeting.
