The Annual General Meeting for 2010 was announced to take place the 22 April at 16:30 at the Centre for Textile Research, University of Copenhagen in conjunction with the 13^th International Aegean Conference. Unfortunately, due to the Icelandic volcanic ash affecting air traffic, the meeting was postponed and instead it took place in Bolton, UK on the 29 May in conjunction with the 5^th General Meeting of the DressID project.

 

Present:

Margarita Gleba, Eva Andersson Strand, Ulla Mannering, Marie-Louise Nosch and several of the DressID participants.
