The programme started on the Sunday with a study tour that should include two of the lighthouses on islands outside Mandal, but bad weather made us turn around with the boat, and only by the very kind help from the Redningsselskapet/The Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue - that had a better boat, we were taken out to one of the two lighthouses. For the Monday and the Tuesday we had meetings in the new "mountain hall" at Lindesnes Lighthouse, that provides top modern conference facilities! .
35 participants took part at the seminar, representing Scotland,(3) the Netherlands (2), Denmark (3), Sweden (1) and Norway (26).
All non-Norwegian participants were invited to give a presentation together with some of the Norwegians, and nearly all present participated in the discussions during the seminar
All presentations were given in English, with translated summaries given for some of the main ones.
Please find attached PDF copies of the presentations. The one by Leif Bendik Hustad needed to be edited due to the size. The list of attachments might be supplemented with the inputs by Jo van der Eynden, and notes from the discussions will surely be included within a few days.
