[IEE EC3 News] Re: IEE Lecture reminder

[Bill Pechey]

There's a correction to this reminder. The section on directions is
incorrect and should read as follows:

"Directions: Enter Whiteknights Campus from Pepper Lane, turn right at
the roundabout, pass Cybernetics and park in the car park on the left.
The lecture will be in the building recently renumbered 38 on the map
at http://www.info.rdg.ac.uk/maps/maps-display.asp "


The university has recently changed its website *and* renumbered the
buildings.

My apologies for this error, I hope to see you all next Thursday.

Best wishes,

Bill.
