This Congress was the most friendly I have attended recently due to the campus atmosphere and many shared discussion groups, walks and tours. It was very-well managed in difficult financial atmosphere of rising prices and all credit goes to the host society and organisers. Events were reported on regional T.V., Radio and in the newspapers.
