Dear STAMAsters,

Following is a posting from Marjorie at the Bentley Historical Library
(sorry for multiple postings to those keen listsurfers).

I have finally found an opening to work on the Liege meeting documentation
and hope to have a bi-lingual version on the STAMA Website next week.

More soon .... Gavan
