Agenda for the third 21st RA meeting, July 10, 2014, 7-9pm SLT
I want to thank the RA members and the attending public for contributing to a very pleasant second session on July 4th (and to the Americans for giving up part of their holiday to be present at the session). I do think that we can accomplish more in an atmosphere of amicability, working towards a common goal by working subsequently through our differences in a spirit of compromise and reciprocity.
