We're proud to be able to welcome Mr Townsend, president of the North American

Association of Piano Technicians, on his second appearance at a PTGNI convention Mr

Townsend's thought-provoking talk concentrates on the key problems facing the

profession worldwide: the lack of trainee technicians entering the field, and on what

can be done to halt the drain

Randy Wilson, USA

Once thought of as mutually exclusive, traditional aural tuning and high-tech digital

tuning techniques can in fact be used together Mr Wilson will show how tradition

and technology can come to the aid of the modern tuner The session will be full of

useful tips on how the two techniques can complement each other, and on how to

avoid common pitfalls

Date: Friday, January 31st

Subject: Convention Posters

Mike,

Just a quick note to say that the posters for the convention have come from the printers They look great, but the problem is that in the title it says this is our tenth convention, when in fact it's our eleventh It's too late to do anything about it now - it will take a week to have them reprinted, and we don't have time - we're already running late on distributing these Besides, I'm sure most people won't even notice If they do, we'll just have to joke about it What else can we do?

The posters have been delivered to our office, so we'll need to organize

distribution Speak to you on Monday

Greg
