Thanks to all attendees and sponsors for a very successful conference week!

ACSW 2004 is now over and the Organising Committee can resume normal lives. Ian and Mike were supported by an enthusiastic and capable team who they managed to persuade to do all the work, and they thank them all whole-heartedly. They also take the credit for the record heat of the opening Sunday and can only apologise helplessly for the 20 degree drop in temperature on the following Monday.

Scientifically, the meeting was a great success with 360 delegates, 7 conferences, and 3 workshops and we were most fortunate to have had a superb set of keynote speakers. However, for most delegates the most abiding memory was probably not a scientific one: "Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o' the puddin-race", the haggis ceremony and the majesty of Larnach Castle all made the conference dinner an unforgettable occasion.
