30th Anniversary Dinner

On the evening of Tuesday 30 June, there will be a dinner to celebrate the 30th anniversary year of the foundation of the UK surface analysis forums for ESCA and SIMS users. The two founders, John Rivière and John Vickerman, will be present as our guests of honour, and Martin Seah has been invited to give an after-dinner speech to mark the passing of the last three decades. UKSAF is very grateful to the following companies that are providing sponsorship for this event. Their generosity means that the delegate price for the dinner (£20) has been heavily subsidized. Please note that places for the dinner are limited in number and must be booked before 19 June 2009.
