The meeting was attended by about 40 UK sea ice researchers, with most of the tenured academics and government employees present, with their PDRAs and PhD students.

There were 11 talks and 11 posters (6 of the posters were from CPOM, 2 from Vexcel, 2 from Peter Wadhams's group, 1 from the UK Met. Office).

Each talk was given in time and received well. In the coffee breaks, the posters were studied by various attendees. There seemed to be plenty of discussion between the participants.

After the talks, there was a 30 minute discussion period. During this, various comments were made to the effect that:

1. The meeting was useful and a success. Everybody seemed happy with the format - even though there was not much time for discussion.
2. The UK sea ice community should continue to have annual meetings.
3. Since this meeting introduced the research interests of the established researchers, subsequent meetings could focus on more detail. It would be particularly good if the talks were informal enough for PhD students to present speculative work.
4. The next meeting was provisionally agreed to take place in the Centre for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge, and hosted by Peter Wadham's group.
5. There should be a UK sea ice community web page, with details of researchers and future meetings.
6. There should be an email list generated for communication between the researchers.
