The 16th Summer School in Protein Crystallography was held at the University of St Andrews on 6th September 2009.
The 2010 Spring Meeting at the University of Warwick was well attended and provided a rich and diverse programme on the theme of "Data Matters" in crystallography. Meeting reports will be published in the next two editions of Crystallography News, the BCA’s quarterly magazine for members. Please submit reports and photographs to Carl Schwalbe. The deadline for inclusion in the June 2010 edition is 25 April.
Thanks to the Programme Chair, Dr Simon Coles, and everyone else who served on the Programme Committee for making the meating a great success. The 2011 Spring Meeting of the BCA will be held at Keele University on 11th-14th April.

The BCA/CCG (Chemical Crystallography Group of the British Crystallographic Association) held the 12th Intensive Teaching School in X-Ray Structure Analysis at Trevelyan College, Durham University.
The school is for younger scientists with some experience of structure analysis who wish to improve their understanding of the underlying principles and practice. The work schedule is intensive, with lectures starting at 20:00 on Saturday 28th March, 2009 and the last lecture schedule to finish on Sunday 5th April at 17:30, followed by the school dinner. The school provides a good mixture of lectures and tutorials sessions. The atmosphere is friendly and the accommodation and food are excellent.
