The main reason for the jamboree is to for the new students to find out who's who. Therefore, each grouplet within the Astronomy Group is invited to describe their research (using one or two OHP slides if required...or if we are very brave move to powerpoint), and introduce the grouplet members.
We also hope that the new students can briefly introduce themselves in a similar way, so if they don't mind, it would be a good idea if they could stand up and say a few words about themselves. Hopefully there will also be a couple of members of the Maths GR group and Solar-Terrestrial group again to introduce themselves as well.
Since we've only got the room for an hour, and have lots of speakers, we need to restrict the amount of time allocated. The speakers are representing groups of different sizes, so may we suggest that individuals have 2mins, small groups 3mins and large groups a maximum of 5mins, although shorter talks are fine.
Afterwards the plan is to go to the Staffclub to continue the Jamboree in a more informal setting. We hope that everybody will be able to join us there, even it is only for a short period.
If you've got any questions, or we have missed anyone out, please let us know. Many thanks.
