A one-day symposium is to be held to mark the retirement of Bill Clegg (though not from research!) and focusing on major aspects of his research career to date: synchrotron crystallography and structural alkali-metal chemistry, including both historical and current perspectives.
Lunch will be provided. There is no fee for attendance. To assist with catering plans, please register if you plan to come, by 15 March: contact Isobel Lamb on 0191 222 7102 or isobel.lamb@ncl.ac.uk
Registration, coffee and lunch are in the Bamburgh Room, King’s Road Centre, Newcastle University (number 31 on the downloadable PDF campus map at http://www.ncl.ac.uk/documents/Campus-Map-Print.pdf; very close to Haymarket Metro Station), and the talks are in Lecture Theatre 6 of the King George VI Building (number 33 on the map; guides will show the way between these locations).
