It became clear that because of the flood we could not meet at Stratfield Brake.
Mark Charlett and friends of Excel Dents gave a short talk on smart repairs.
Robert Baxter of Wicked Wheels told us about smart wheel refurbishment.
We learn about paintless dent removal, wheel refurbishment and more. The talks were sandwiched between lots of nattering among you and your colleagues.
Directions to the Chemistry Research Laboratory
OS 1:50 000 Map 164 Ref: SP 5165 0690
Her Majesty The Queen opened the new £60 million Chemistry Research Laboratory (CRL) on 20th February 2004. There is a good picture at http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/crl.html
The CRL is a large new silver, white and mostly glass building with a double row of stainless steel chimneys on top. It is on the West corner of South Parks Rd and Mansfield Rd in the Oxford University science area. The vehicle entrance is between two large Victorian houses: the Department of Statistics at 1 & 2 South Parks Rd.
The sign by the vehicle entrance is in gold letters on a blue background and reads:
CHEMISTRY RESEARCH LABORATORY
   Entrance & Reception
ROTHERMERE AMERICAN INSTITUTE
The vehicle entrance is opposite a small road called Le Gros Clark Place.
Once in the CRL courtyard the entrance to the building is through the automatic circular doors on the LHS.
We may well have to split the car parking between the CRL courtyard and the other chemistry area over the road, so be prepared to be directed to a parking place. Please come in a classic vehicle if you can.
From the North
Approach South Parks Road via Banbury Road and Parks Road. After turning left into South Parks Road you will pass Rhodes House with a green domed roof (on the RHS) and Robinson Close (on the LHS). The entrance to CRL is on the RHS between the two Victorian houses. If you get to Mansfield Road you have gone too far.
From the East
Approach South Parks Road via High Street, Longwall Street and St Cross Road. As you turn left into South Parks Road you will see on the LHS a lot of Red & White bollards around a sheeted building site. The CRL is then on the LHS immediately after Mansfield Road. Go past the sign for the pedestrian entrance. The vehicle entrance is then on the LHS between the two Victorian houses. If you get to Parks Road you have gone too far.
