  Please circulate the following flier on the ICAME'91 Open Day to anyone
  who may wish to attend. The principles apply to Corpora of other languages,
  not just English, so linguists working on other languages might well be
  interested as well; I realise that not many people are likely to
  travel overseas just for a one-day gathering, but perhaps the Open Day
  might be of interest to anyone who plans to be in England at the time on
  other business.
