[LEAPSECS] public activity in the UK

[Peter Vince]

The National Measurement Office is indeed holding the first of a series of
meetings at the Office for Public Management in Gray's Inn Road, Central
London, on Wednesday the 30th of April in Central London.  I can't find any
web pages on their sites either, but the contact person is Tracey Bedford
at tbedford at opm.co.uk.
