British Nutrition Foundation: General correspondence

H/62: Jan-Aug 1976
H/63: Jun-Jul 1976. This relates to the response to an article 'Cancer: how to cut the risk' by O. Gillie, Sunday Times, 13 Jun 1976. Some members felt that Gillie was over-enthusiastic in his promotion of polyunsaturated fats and Synge drafted a letter to be sent to the Sunday Times. However, there was no consensus among Foundation members either on the merits of Gillie's article or on the best way for the Foundation to respond
H/64: 1977, 1979

British Nutrition Foundation: 'Memorandum to Food Standards Committee, MAFF [Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food] on Beer'

'Cooperation in Europe'

In 1972, Batchelor invited Chairmen of European national committees of theoretical and applied mechanics to meet in Warsaw to discuss the idea of a European Mechanics Council. However the move provoked serious concern amongst senior members of IUTAM who took steps to prevent the meeting. However, the incident resulted in the establishment of a IUTAM study group to look into regional cooperation in general.
