BRITISH COMPUTER SOCIETY
FORTRAN SPECIALIST GROUP
The next meeting of the BCS Fortran Specialist Group
will be held on Thursday, 5 September, 1991 from 11.00am to
4.30pm at Jodrell Bank, near Macclesfield, Cheshire. This
meeting will be more informal than usual giving members who
are not normally able to come to London a chance to meet.
The morning session starting later than usual will be
normal business but shortened due to a lack of minutes of
the previous meeting which have yet to be written. However,
there will be reports from X3J3 and ISO representatives on
the latest position concerning the Fortran 90 Standard. The
afternoon session will be a talk on the Fortran 90 Standard
and an introduction to the work of Jodrell Bank. Please
note that a light (probably buffet style) lunch will be
available in the visitor centre restaurant.
Please bring this notice to the attention of any col-
leagues likely to be interested: we particularly welcome
newcomers to the Group whether members of BCS or not.

AUGUST 1991 NEWSLETTER
WELCOME TO OUR NEW CHAIRMAN
The Fortran Specialist Group has a new Chairman. After 10
years as Chairman, John Wilson has stepped down and our new
Chairman is Michael Roth. He works at the Winfrith Technol-
ogy Centre and has been involved with Fortran for some time,
particularly with the International Standard. Even though he
has only recently joined the Group, the experience he brings
on matters Fortran are very welcome.
HEADQUARTER'S MOVE TO SWINDON
The move of BCS HQ to Swindon has finally taken place over the
weekend of 6th and 7th July. The new telephone number is to
be found at the bottom of the Address List. For personal
callers, the BCS offices are in the Allied Dunbar building
which is directly above the Swindon British Rail station con-
course. BCS is also maintaining a London Office which will be
13 Mansfield Street until the end of October when it will be
moved next door to 11 Mansfield Street. This means that the
next London meeting of the Group will probably be in the new
venue (see next item).
LUNCHTIME BUFFET
Ex-Secretary Mike Nunn has offered to arrange a Buffet Lunch
at our November meeting which is planned for Thursday, 28th
November, 1991. The proposal is to start at 12.30 with the
buffet and then having our normal afternoon session starting
at 2pm which will probably be on the subject of Fortran 90.
We don't yet know what we are celebrating but I am sure we
will soon find an excuse!
John Young.
