stats on IASCL meetings

[Magdalena Smoczynska]

Brian,
maybe I have the program of the London 1975 meeting. I have to check.
Among those who attended it were: Paul Fletcher, Gordon Wells, Melissa
Bowerman, Dan Slobin, David Crystal, Maria Przetacznikowa (from Poland),
Robin Campbell - I think I will recall the name of the organizer (I saw her
quite recently).
I think the person organizing the Lund meeting was Ragnhild Sodebergh.
