>>> RSGB HF & IOTA CONVENTION WINDSOR 2000 <<<
Put the date in your diaries now. This year's RSGB HF and IOTA Convention
will be held over the period 13, 14 and 15 October at Old Windsor, Berkshire.
An interesting programme, with plenty of IOTA content, is under preparation
with a number of well-known speakers lined up. The IOTA Committee will
explain the background to changes and developments in IOTA as it enters the
New Millennium. More on this later. The Convention Centre is served by
excellent road and rail links and, for those coming by air, is within easy
reach of London Heathrow Airport. Let's have a really big IOTA attendance
this year. IOTA enthusiasts planning to come are encouraged to drop Roger,
G3KMA a note (g3kma@dial.pipex.com) so that we can monitor likely attendance
and plan the IOTA programme accordingly. Booking arrangements will be
announced later.

Please note that the RSGB IOTA web site is now to be found on
http://www.rsgbiota.org . Both this and the IOTA Manager's web site
(http://www.eo19.dial.pipex.com/index.htm) are being developed as and when
time can be prised away from IOTA Directory revision and accompanying
map-work.
