1996 was a busy year for Caerdroia, with your editor travelling to conferences and exhibitions in Sweden, Denmark and the USA to represent the journal. Reports on these events, and much more besides, in this edition, along with something new for Caerdroia - labyrinths in full colour!

The original edition has now sold out, but a reprint edition is still available.
