Thanks to all those who prepared talks for the first
day, which was a very useful update on progress with
existing experiments.  I have a copy of all the overheads
and duplicates will be posted out to everyone next week.

A big thanks also to Roger for organising everything,
including the excellent evening event for Dick's retirement.

On the second day we discussed the grant submission and
agreed that we would go for a June siubmission for 4 years.
We also agreed that our first step is to produce drafts on
the main physics themes and on the major equipment
development ideas.  These are to be ready for the end
of November.  A meeting will be arranged for mid December
to consider how these can be merged together and to
agree on the next steps in preparing the grant submission.
The table summarises agreed actions:\\[1mm]

\begin{tabular}{|r|p{9.8cm}|l|} \hline

2.& Spectroscopy of exotic nuclei with transfer reactions & WNC/RC/RCL\\

failures: \\[1mm]
