time is running out. lets wrap it up. as things can never be perfect. we do
our best and learn from it.

"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new." (Albert
Einstein)

You have done a great job in such a short time June. Thanks for your effort.

Lets get it printed and start posting up.

I haven't seen a single of our poster in UCL or around ULU vicinity
(birbeck, school of hygine, etc),  if need help, pls let me know i'll show
you where all the notice boards are.

Cheers.

Amitabha.
