I am pleased to report that we have now managed to acquire additional accommodation at this year's venue. So if you wish to nominate more than two delegates from your organisation, you may do so using the online application form at:- http://www.uksg.org/cgi/conf2000.pl We will then add you to our "reserve list". If, after the closing date for regular applications (March 17), there are any spare places, we will fill them from this "reserve list" in the order in which they were received.
