  • Post SLA Conference - 7th June

    This will be my last post for a while as I will be on leave until attending the Umbrella Conference in Hatfield (28-30 June). I haven’t mentioned the weather up until now - how very un-British of me - but I am happy to report that it’s been nice and sunny and has reached 80F (operating on Fahrenheit not Celsius). Wednesday was the final day of the Conference and very windy outside. We tend to be somewhat...

  • SLA Conference - 4th June

    After the stimulation of Al Gore's keynote the previous evening, I began Monday by attending the Business and Finance Division Breakfast and Business Meeting, a slightly more sedate affair. We shared breakfast and conversation and heard from the Division’s Board on the previous year. As this all started at 7.00am I was quite relieved when the Division President conceded that he “didn’t do mornings...
