The next LCFI group meeting will be held on Monday 19th April at 
Liverpool University. The meeting will start at 2 pm, however, everyone
who can attend is invited to meet at 1 pm in Tim Greenshaw's office 
(3rd floor, Oliver Lodge Laboratory, room 332), so we can have lunch 
together and see the Liverpool facilities.

 	Conf. Information:  http://www.cern.ch/Physics/LCWS99/

	ECFA/DESY Mtg at CERN 5-7 July 1999.
	Plans for how to converge on detector design.

	ECFA/DESY Workshop 16-19 October 1999 (France/Italy/...)
	Agreement on detector specification, with a few options still 
        open.

	ECFA/DESY Workshop March/April 2000. (Italy/France/...)
	Responsibilities for writing TDR.

	ECFA/DESY Workshop in DESY October 2000.
	TDR review (first drafts due 1 Sept 2000, with full costings).

Note also the NLC CD-1 Meetings with DOE in the week of May 24th, to be
held at SLAC. The NLC schedule (assuming international agreement can be
negotiated in a timely fashion) is to begin construction of the 
accelerator in FY 2004 (ie starting in October 2003).

6)	AOB


If you have transparencies or drawings to show, you should send them
electronically to Tim Greenshaw, green@hep.ph.liv.ac.uk, so he can make
them accessible from the LCFI home page.

This will be the first LCFI group meeting in Liverpool. Everyone 
interested will be most welcome to attend.

Chris.
