THANKS . . At the 2001 Group meeting in Bristol, David Lowe stood down as Group Chairman after three years in post. David, who is based at the John Innes Centre in Norwich, brought a healthy biochemical perspective to the Group’s activities. We are indebted to him for his quiet efficiency, hard work in the organisation of the group’s conferences, and for the dignity and courtesy he showed in office. The Group also thanks John Maher for his admirable work as local organiser of the Bristol conference.
