听力原文：I know that many of you have trains to catch and in a couple of cases flights to

catch so I won't keep you very much longer. However, yon are aware that the sheet listing course dates, fees and other information which was sent out prior to this meeting was incomplete. I'm afraid not all the details had been confirmed by the time we went to press and there are a number of omissions. However, I'm now in s position to give you the rest of this information so you can add it to your copy. We've been fortunate in obtaining the same hotel as last year—that's the Station for the people on attachment so the residential periods will be spent at the Station Hotel in Brimston Square. The overall fee will now include laundry charges. I know that there were disagreements last year as it was felt that costs of personal laundry while away from home should not be borne by participants. However, you will still need funds to cover your daily travel costs from the hotel to the training centre and although the hotel will provide breakfast and evening meal you will need to meet both transport as I've just mentioned and, er, lunch each day out of your own pocket. You may remember, however, that subsidized lunches are available at the training centre so they won' t be too expensive.

For those of you travelling from abroad I should also point out that the Society is not in a position to help with any charges for excess baggage. The standard allowance as you know is twenty kilos and if you have bought books, gifts or whatever to take home with you, any additional costs are your responsibility.

You will be pleased to learn that the fees for the Industrial Relations course have stayed the same as last year-so that's. Unfortunately, though, the fees for the Management Today course have not yet been finalized; they will vary from last year but you might like to know that they will be approximately somewhere in the region of ￡500. I'm sure it won't have escaped your attention that we failed to print the length of each course. The Industrial Relations course is a twelve-week course as is Management Today-both three months as usual.

The two charges listed under the Training Officers' course apply to members of the Society and these who axe eligible for awards or scholarships. The lower figure applies to overseas applicants who would be anable to attend our courses without these grants as it's important that we continue to attract participants from abroad.

And finally, the Training Officers' course lasts only ten weeks this year as it has been reduced in response to last year's suggestions for a slightly shorter courser

Thank you, I do hope that...
