The theme of the workshop will be in a similar vein to the meeting at Durham University in 2017 including:
The organisers envisage the workshop will attract a diverse range of specialists with expertise in earth, environmental and civil engineering, materials and archaeology. It is planned that a number of specialist equipment and consumables suppliers will also attend. Along with invited speakers we hope this will contribute to making the day a success, advancing participants understanding of the diverse range of products and equipment available for preparation. It is also a great opportunity to meet friends and colleagues that you probably haven’t seen since the last event.

The theme of the symposium will be in a similar vein including, knowledge/skill transfer in the art of thin section preparation, the preparation of high quality petrographic sections and surfaces for microscopy analysis, including sample cutting, resin impregnation and stabilisation, grinding, lapping and polishing for EBSD, EMP, TEM and SEM / EDS.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our former Managing Director, David Humphries. As many of you who worked with him may know, David had been ill health for some time now and passed peacefully on the 21st of January 2018.
As a mark of respect for a great man who devoted over 40 years to Logitech we will be closed Wednesday the 7th of February, for staff and friends to pay their respects to David and his family.
We thank you for understanding.
