Update
There are two items you only have one particular extra day to do:
- Book a place at the Joint Meeting of Arithmetic Subject Associations and obtain the early bird price cut. This normally takes place at Warwick University in the Easter holidays. I’ve booked my place! I’m really looking ahead to it.

Right here are some things you could have skipped:
Yesterday, Craig Barton and I used the day at a recording studio operating on a job with AQA. Enjoy this space!
