    Agenda for the Meeting

    The agenda for the meeting is being finalised and will be sent out as a separate document.

    Excursion

    On Tuesday afternoon, with a picnic lunch, we are looking forward to showing you the best of Switzerland.  Please bring easy walking shoes and an anorak/wind cheater coat for sightseeing and we will finish the evening with a fun traditional dinner.  Full details will be communicated nearer the date.  Please communicate any eating restrictions.  There is no requirement to dress formally.

    Climate in September?

    Switzerland can be surprisingly hot in September but also a bit cold in the evenings.  The temperature most often remain between 10C (50F) and 21C (69.8F) at this time of year.  Rainfall is about 10 days out of the month and mainly at night.  The easiest options would be to bring layered clothing.
