The meeting was attended by about 40 UK sea ice researchers, with a broad cross section of tenured academics, PDRAs, PhD students, and government employees present.

There were 16 talks, 12 posters and a laboratory demonstration of freezing phenomena in the DAMTP Fluid lab., organised by Grae Worster. Most of the talks were given by younger postdocs.

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.
2. The UK sea ice community should continue to have annual meetings.
3. The two day format (afternoon + morning) was generally OK but: (i) Next year the meeting should start about an hour later; (ii) have longer coffee breaks (40 minutes), allowing more time for the posters; and (iii) some people would like refreshment (beer) with the dedicated poster session.
4. Most people would be happy with future meetings extending to slightly over a day's worth of activities.
5. Next year it would be better to have the meeting about 1 week earlier because of teaching commitments, i.e. around 20 Sept.
6. Next year's meeting would take place at the UK Met. Office in Exeter and it would be organised by Jeff Ridley.
