Congratulation to Malcolm with his medal and all guys with Honorable mentions. Given the size of NZ, you represented our country very respectably. Well done!
Waiting for you here back home. On 30th we will have a talk here by Diane Maclagan, former IMO team member and now Associate Professor at Warwick. Auckland’s group is welcome to attend.
