The next meeting of the British Computer Society's
Fortran Specialist Group will be held on Thursday, 28
November, 1991 from 12.30pm to 4.30pm at BCS, 13 Mansfield
Street, London. This meeting will start with a Buffet Lunch
and the formal meeting will commence at 2pm.

normal business and will include a report from X3J3
representatives followed by an informal discussion on
Fortran 90.
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.

DATES OF FORTHCOMING MEETINGS
The Group attempts to book dates for its meetings up to a year
in advance but with the uncertainty of the London BCS venue we
have only booked dates till the middle of 1992. It is still
uncertain whether next year's meetings will be held at 13
Mansfield Street or at No. ll but our next meeting (see below)
will be at No. 13. The dates of the forthcoming meetings with
provisional titles are:
Thursday, 28th November, 1991 Buffet Lunch
Thursday, 6th February, 1992 Data Structures in Fortran
Thursday, 14th May, 1992 AGM
THE GROUP SEEKS A NEW SECRETARY
I am finding the task of Secretary more and more difficult as
the time approaches for the change in status of my job. At
present it is likely I shall be moving away from Fortran but
nothing so far is certain. The Secretary of the Fortran Group
should be more than just a minute taker and letter writer but
is someone who can encourage and enthuse members to make a
contribution. If you think you could do the job, know some-
body who might, or would like to talk about the task, please
get in touch with me (or Mike Roth, our Chairman).
CELEBRATION BUFFET
In the August 1991 Newsletter Mike Nunn offered to arrange a
Buffet at our November meeting on Thursday, 28th November,
1991. I have only received 6 replies so far, probably not
enough to organise the Lunch. Mike does an excellent repast
and it would be a shame to let this opportunity slip by. The
proposal is to start at 12.30 with the Buffet and then have
our normal meeting starting at 2pm followed by an informal
~ discussion on Fortran 90. Another form is appended so do
please send it to me and/or come and join us on the 28th.
