I attended press showing of the film last Tuesday evening with Sir David King (government chief scientist) and Chris Gordon and Geoff Jenkins from the Met Office. The next day we were involved in a press briefing about the film at the Science Media Centre (Royal Institution). This led to quite a bit of media coverage, including a Newsnight spot that evening. I have attached a copy of the briefing notes that I supplied to the press on RAPID at the briefing meeting. I am sure that there will be further media interest when the film goes on general release next week (28th May). Christine and I are preparing something to put on the RAPID web site, which I hope to circulate shortly for your comments. Annual Meeting - only 8 people responded to my earlier e-mail regarding the Annual Meeting (you know who you are - so thank you!). It would be useful in planning the meeting if the rest of the Steering Committee could say whether they intend to be there, as this will help in structuring the meeting (e.g. people to chair sessions / lead discussions, etc...).
