Thanks to some generous sponsorship, we will be able to organize on both Tuesday and Wednesday evening a banquet to which all participants are invited.

• On Tuesday evening from 18:00-19:00, the Director of ECMWF invites all participants to an ice-breaker cocktail. This will be followed from 19:00-22:00 by a banquet, sponsored by IBM, in a Marquee set up on the ECMWF premises.
• On Wednesday evening all participants are invited to a banquet, sponsored by NEC. This event will take place from 19:00-22:00 at a restaurant close to ECMWF, The New Mill. Transportation from ECMWF to the restaurant and back to ECMWF and/or Reading town centre will be provided.

We assume that all participants will be able to join us for these events, however, if you already know that you won't attend one or both of these evening events, please let us know. Likewise, please send us an email if you have any special dietary requirements (vegetarian, etc.) so that we can plan accordingly.
