The 2006 Annual Scientific Meeting was held in the Marriott St Pierre Hotel and Country Club, Chepstow - just over the Welsh border from England. One of the highlights was Thursday evening dinner, with harpist Miss Ceri Wynne Jones providing accompanying music. Professor Gavin Kenny (pictured left below) received Honorary Membership of the Society, and Dr Iain Glen received a similar certificate to mark his Honorary Membership in November 2000.

The Chepstow Meeting was attended by delegates from throughout Great Britain and Ireland, and from Canada, Guernsey, Germany, Iceland, Singapore and Sweden - three continents!

Dr Sonia Allam, (right), Specialist Registrar in the West of Scotland School of Anaesthesia, won the prize for the best free paper presentation by a trainee anaesthetist. The prize was awarded by Cardinal Health, and Sonia is pictured (right) with Mr Douglas Dunn from Cardinal.

Dr Allam's paper was entitled "Reaction time monitored patient maintained propofol sedation: a volunteer safety study".
