COMMENTS FROM DELAGTES AT THE FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURAL PLANT MODELS CONFERENCE NOVEMBER 2007
“I wish to pass on my appreciation for the great FSPM07 workshop you were involved in helping to run in Napier. I especially want to say that the audio-visual support was excellent and very graciously provided. You have a very capable man in that role. Also, the food was excellent which can be such a let down at meetings. This was probably the best I have experienced. Many thanks for great support, which as a NZer made me proud that 'we' could put on such a well run meeting.
Peter Minchin, Delegate
