These were pictures taken by the organizers, so I can be seen in a black t-shirt in the third row.

The evening entertainment that had been organized for Friday was a football tournement, however being of the Robert Oppenheimer school of thought on team sports I didn't participate and didn't last long as a spectator.

Consequently I didn't get any pictures of the event - so here is one taken by one of the organizers.

Closing Ceremony and Executive Committee Meeting

imgp3607.jpg Saturday morning we had the closing ceremony, as even though we still another day and a half of the conference, this was expected to be the last time we would be assembled as a group in the lecture room. However I havn't been able to find a picture of the event.

The afternoon was allocated for the IAPS General Meeting, which amoungst other things was to select the hosts for the 2008 ICPS, and also the next president elect.

Here the three contenders for the presidential postition are giving their presentations, with Konstantinos taking his turn at the microphone.

Here I am with the UK delegation (and to my left, the Norwegian) as the meeting carried on.

The meetings have a reputation for running longer than planned, and this one was no exception. It resumed after dinner, and the farewell party which had been planned for the evening had to be postponed till Sunday night.
