Hope everyone is having a great meeting, it seems to be from all the tweets and questions at Q&A. As we approach the end of the week, 2 bits of housekeeping, first big thanks to Vicki Bryan and the MU conference office and the @ClubIsrr ambassadors for keeping us going…

Out of an abundance of caution, we plan to reschedule the conference and will be discussing with sponsors, and ISRD potential dates, currently provisionally targeting June 2021, dates to be confirmed. More to follow as we hear 2/2

BREAKING: It will have escaped no ones attention that we're currently in the middle of a global pandemic caused by COVID-19. This is predicted to peak in the middle of June in the UK. Obviously this is going to have implications on the running of the conference 1/2
