Welcome
New Year message from the President
Dear SRHSB members and friends, first we wish you all a peaceful
and enjoyable New Year! The last year has been a busy one for the
Society. The Nottingham meeting was highly successful, and we are
looking forward to another successful meeting next year. The
56th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society will be held in York,
UK on 25-28 July 2012. The venue will be the University of York, a
relatively young British University but now ranked in the top 10
academically.Once again all facilities including accommodation will
be available all on site, and registration and booking of
accommodation (single and double, both en suite) will be easy and
uncomplicated. The Scientific Programme will once
again include two pre-meetings on Wednesday morning: Experimental
Hydrocephalus, convened by Hazel Jones, and Clinical Case Reports,
convened by Mark Luciano (please see separate notice for abstract
submission etc). These pre-meetings are highly regarded and we urge
you to attend one of them, at no extra cost other than one night's
accommodation. For the main meeting we are inviting eminent Special
Lecturers, but the Scientific Programme depends on you, as it
consists of submitted abstracts chosen the Executive Committee with
advice from an Abstracts College (as last year). It is therefore
important that you and your colleagues submit your abstracts
(deadline February 24th). More details
of the structure of the Scientific Programme will be posted on the
Society's website as it develops. As usual, after the Pre-meetings
on Wednesday, there will be the Society's Annual General Meeting
followed by a reception in the evening. After the scientific
sessions on Thursday morning, the afternoon will be devoted to
social activities including a boat trip. Friday is always a full
working day, followed by the Annual Dinner. Finally, further
scientific sessions will be held on Saturday morning.
York enjoys good mainline rail connections with London,
Edinburgh and Manchester, and further travel details will be posted
on the SRHSB website. There are air connections from these airports
to destinations worldwide. York is an ideal base from which to
explore the North of England and Scotland.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
Members are reminded that their subscriptions are now due for
2012. Please see the message from the Hon Treasurer on the website.
The subscription rate has risen this year from £60 to £75, the
first increase in 15 years. A new "student" rate has now been
introduced (£25), and Senior members pay £30, so please check to
see if you are eligible. Members pay a reduced registration fee for
the Annual Meeting.

President
