Is anyone able to tell me what the dress code is for this Wednesday
evening's conference dinner?

Is anyone from the NG going by any chance?

I am not going to the conference but at scientific conference dinners
there is generally no dress code (certainly not black tie). For this
one I doubt very much if it will be very different. I tend to put on
a jacket, shirt(no tie) and not wear jeans or trainers. The only
people who may be dressed up are the RMS officers and any awardees if
this is the case.

I do note when going to medical conferences people are smarter than at
meteorological ones

I nearly always travel with a tie but rarely wear it - a just in case
....

I am going, and giving a talk :~( in the Water Vapour workshop. And I
have a poster with the title "An Error on the OLR Models?"

I can't answer your question about dress code because I was wondering
the same thing myself.

Cheers, Alastair.

OK Alistair, I hope we get the chance to meet up.

Good luck with your 'talk' - I'll look out for the poster!


Thanks also to Andy for his considered reply too

best wishes

I was keeping a Iook out all through the conference for Steve, but I
only met him after the conference dinner and the prizes had been
awarded. He received the Michael Hunt award, and so, unlike me, was
wearing a suit as recommended by Andy.

Congratulations again Steve.

Also congrats to Will Hand. His paper, Hand et al 2004, was praised by
one of the main speakers.

I only got half way through my mini talk at a workshop, before my 12
mins. was up. I got some criticism of my poster. At least it was not
ignored :-) BADC is organising for us to be able to put out posters
on the web so I will lpost the web page here when that is done.

Cheers, Alastair.

Yes Alatair, but it was very hot in that suit, but nevertheless, a
pleasure to meet you!

It was a very enjoyable evening, made much more so by meeting up with
several fellow weather enthusiasts; noteworthy amongst these we

Alistair of course, though we will never agree on climate change!

Julian Mayes, erstwhile contributor on uksci.weather and excellent
editor of "Weather" - charming man and an honour for my wife and I to
sit next to him:-) He duly won an editors' award.

Ernie Pepperdine - once senior met man at Watnall, now chair of the
East Midlands branch of the society. A wonderful man with so many
stories and still fit and spritely at 83.

Professor Slingo of Reading University - daughter of the Headmaster of
our sister school, King Henry VIII, until 1974. Now president of tthe
R Met Soc - her brothers came to Bablake.

Amanda Maycock - ex Bablake pupil now doing a PhD in meteorology at
Reading.

I must admit to feling very humble amongst so many top academics,
meteorologists and climatologists - even the top man from the IPCC was
there!

Steve, I think on this occasion it is quite acceptable for you to blow
your own trumpet and explain to all why you were an invited guest of
the Society at the Conference dinner ... !

Stephen, there are so many members of this newsgroup far more worthy
than I to receive an award from the RMetS - indeed, many that have
done so in the past, including Rodney's award last year.

The citation for the Michael Hunt 2008 award, shared this year with
Professor Dudley Shallcross of Bristol University, mentioned the 30
plus years of service to the weather community and the Met Office, and
raising the understanding of meteorology and climatology amongst the
general public and the field of education, or something like that at
least. I still don't know who nominated me to be honest.

I accepted the award on behalf of Bablake School, and the countless
pupils who have worked with me, and put up with mo over the past 32
years!

Hear hear. Well done, and modest too! Anyone that can run a school
weather station - nay, weather service - to the standards set by you,
for over 30 years, fully deserves the award. Congratulations!
