this will facilitate your training choices. Please also make sure that
your supervisor knows which seminars you are planning to attend.
Please bear in mind that the schedule is correct to date, but any
changes to the schedule will be publicised on the WebCT pages. I will
send round an e-flyer in advance of each seminar to ask you to sign up,
but reminders will not be sent - so make sure you note your seminars in
your diary!
