BIS members' day at IAC 2008

摘要

While IAC 2008 in Glasgow was a big and prestigious event for the Society, emphasising its standing within the worldwide astronautics community, it was recognised that it was too large and expensive for many of our ordinary members not directly involved in the space business. But it was equally recognised that such an event was of interest to ordinary members of the Society, particularly those in Scotland and the north of England who cannot readily attend events in London. So, at the initiative of the BIS executive secretary, a BIS members' day was organised for the Friday.
