Andrew had prepared a follow-up letter to people who have made enquiries about UK cryonics to Alcor UK or Alcor US over the past few years. Steve Whitrow had printed out reply addressed envelopes and posted them to the facility. The list of enquirers was supplied by Alcor US and includes the list that Alan has built up over the years. 3.2 Training We do not have a complete spare set of tubes for a training session to practise dummy runs on the HLR circuits (the complete sets being under wraps, held in sterile conditions). We need lengths of plastic tubing of different diameters and two- and three-way connectors (the connectors, in particular, are not so easy to get). The circuit was assembled, insofar as possible, to identify those portions missing from a training set. 1[10]93/AS Tubes and connectors Alan to investigate and purchase as available. 4 Any Other Business 4.1 The next AUK meeting will be held at the facility near Eastbourne at 11:00am on the 7th of November 1993. 4.2 There is a minor rodent problem at the facility.
