Michael also asked me to draw attention to the London Host Scheme:
"If you are a London-based delegate who would be interested in hosting and networking with a colleague based outside London or the UK, please register for the scheme by e-mailing organiser Michael Benis. To incentivise this networking opportunity, we will be offering a bottle of delicious organic red wine to one of our generous hosts, to be selected at random in the prize draw."

This was my first-ever powwow, after many intentions to do so. I spent a very pleasant afternoon with fellow linguists and look forward to more. Thank you Katharina for the organisation!

Oh, and re the state pension: here's the website http://www.thepensionservice.gov.uk/pensions-reform/faqs.asp
(and I got it wrong with the 35 years - it's now only 30 years! So keep paying your quarterly contributions! Both men and women reaching State Pension age from 6 April 2010 will need 30 years qualifying years (rather than 39 for women and 44 for men as now) for a full basic State Pension. If you do not have the full 30 years of paid or credited contributions to get a full State Pension, each year you do have will give you one thirtieth of the full rate Basic State Pension.) ▲ Collapse

I can highly recommend this event. They sorted out all my stuff there and then and Berlin sent me an updated printout later on. The British guys are always tucked away in a corner, but are very sweet and helpful.
