The programme also included talks on and about Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science. Those of us who took part in the sessions believe that the tradition of truthful, unbiassed, and entertaining presentation was upheld, and that our visitors enjoyed the affair. Next year, we will try to have some photographs for readers' delectation, since such evidence that so many school students really do enjoy Mathematics is always welcome, and a positive sign for the future of intellectual life .
