           BRITISH CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATION MEETING 

    Structure, function and crystallography of glycosylated and 
		     sugar binding proteins.

The program for the meeting is appended - there are new structures, new
ideas and new methods in a full and exciting program.

There has been very little support for the meeting so far so I thought I
would remind all you crystallographers out there that it is time to send in
your registration forms.

As an unavoidable concession the ordinary fees will remain in force for a
further two weeks.

	Trevor (aks at dl.cxa) - let me know if you need forms!
