GridPP activities

Please note that this page is now obsolete. All the material on it has been redistributed to pages directly accessible from the sidebar.

Please let the webmaster know of any HEP links or resources that you want adding to this site: pages about local grid activity within HEP groups; slides of grid talks; etc etc. These pages are for us all to communicate with each other and the outside world about the grid work we're doing in the GridPP collaboration: there is a page explaining how you can create pages on the server.
