Announcement

The Southampton GR group is hosting the 1st "British Gravity Meeting" on 27/28 March (Tues/Wed) 2001.

The purpose of the meeting is to bring the relativity community in Britain together, and to provide a forum for young researchers (students and postdocs).

The topic of the meeting is general relativity, classical, quantum and experimental. The boundary would be drawn at topics that are more suitable for the existing annual high energy physics and cosmology meetings.
