3    Progress

3.1  Publicity

     After reviewing the status of actions the meeting was given
     over to letter addressing/stuffing.  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.  Alan to
     purchase some pesticide.

     2[10]93/AS     Pesticide                Alan to purchase
                                             some pesticide
