The AGM was held at Alton Towers over the weekend of 12-13 November. This proved as popular a venue as usual, with many members and their families attending the meeting.

On the Saturday morning there were meetings of the Long Bone, Hand & Wrist, ORP and CMF specialty sections. There followed the guest lecturesby Prof Emanuel Gautier who presented the "Playground" modules and Romano Matthys who demonstrated the "OSKIT". Delegates had the opportunity to sample the systems at the various workstations, after which AOUK President Bob Handley gave a vote of thanks.
