DURATION AS REPORTED IN MY TELNO VISIT 4 OF 10 AUGUST, THE CHINESE SIDE ARE CONTENT WITH A THREE DAY VISIT. THEY
WILL NOT NEED TO RETURN FOR A NATIONAL DAY RECEPTION. HOWEVER, I PERSONALLY WILL NEED TO BE BACK IN LONDON IN TIME TO CATCH FLIGHT BA27 DEPARTING HEATHROW AT 2115 ON
1 OCTOBER. I THEREFORE SUGGEST PARTICIPANTS SHOULD GET BACK TO LONDON ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO FLY BACK FROM SCOTLAND IF POSSIBLE.

NUMBERS: AS YOU SAY THERE WILL BE TWELVE PAID FOR BY COI. WE ASSUME IT IS INTENDED THAT THE INTERPRETER SHOULD ALSO BE FROM THE CHINESE SIDE, THUS BOOSTING THE CHINESE SIDE'S PARTICIPATION TO 11. IN ADDITION THERE
WILL BE A NUMBER OF MEMBERS/EXPERTS FROM HKG WHO WILL ATTEND AT HKG'S EXPENSE. THE COMPOSITION OF THE TEAM FOR JLG XVI HAS YET TO BE DECIDED, AND SOME OF THE LIKELY PARTICIPANTS ARE ON LEAVE, SO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS STAGE TO GIVE A FIRM NUMBER. HOWEVER, FOR PLANNING PURPOSES COI MAY TAKE IT THAT THERE WILL BE NO MORE THAN 4 HKG PARTICIPANTS.
I HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FIND FUNDS FOR MARTIN, AND POSSIBLY ALSO FOR PARTON.

ON A FURTHER POINT OF DETAIL, WE ASSUME THAT COI WILL PAY FOR HKG MEMBERS IN THE FIRST INSTANCE AND INVOICE HKG AFTERWARDS. THIS WOULD BE THE SIMPLEST METHOD FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES. GRATEFUL FOR CONFIRMATION. IT WOULD ALSO BE HELPFUL, FOR HKG'S PURPOSES, TO HAVE A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF THE PER CAPITA COST OF THIS VISIT.
