If you want anything brought up at those meetings please advise your local committee member. A very successful inaugural Livestock Improvement Corporation Lecture was given by Professor Michel Georges at the 1996 conference. Thanks to LIC for their support for the concept. In future years, time will also be made available for questions at the completion of the Lecture. Jock Macmillan is currently finalizing the rules and agreement with LIC for these lectures to be held on a continuing basis.
Negotiations are presently also underway with another Corporate body for sponsorship.
The annual general meeting passed a resolution giving the Editor authority to decline papers received later than one week after the conference. Although the final date has not been set yet for the October Management Committee meeting, closing date for abstracts for the 1997 conference will be in the second week of September.
