Hi Myke

I have since moved to Mexico and this informatioon is probably in a box in 
an attic in the UK or at my old job at Warwick HRI.  We went all over the 
place.

Contact the orgaisers f te VII symposium at: 
http://www.actahort.org/books/430/

Ask for the man who arranged the 4 day presymposium trip. His name was John 
something.  I think his surname began with G.  You can mention me, he will 
remember (Dr Darren Sage, HRI, UK).  If you contact him, please pass his 
e-mail too me.

Good luck!

Darren
