The date(s) for meetings are set well in advance to ensure that as many members as possible can attend. Meeting dates can only be changed at late notice if all members can attend on the proposed new date(s) and no one is financially disadvantaged by the change. By agreement OFEG will hold its Autumn meetings in Paris, France to allow for as many members as possible to travel to the meeting with having to fly thereby reducing OFEG s carbon footprint. Future meeting venues/dates are as follows: 23 rd & 24 th April 2009, Texel, Netherlands; 5 th November 2009, Barcelona, Spain Barter exchange enquires protocol: Barter exchange enquires should only come from OFEG members and any barter exchange enquiries from members of the science community should be directed back to the appropriate national OFEG member. 2
