The Society records with deepest sympathy the recent passing of Mr Peter Knight, Production Manager of the ASSCT Proceedings.

The Australian Society of Sugar Cane Technologists Executive and members would like to convey their heartfelt condolences to his family.

Peter was Production Editor for all of the 42 ASSCT Conference Proceedings. 

Peter was meticulous in his attention to detail but very unassuming and hard working. As technology and the format of the Proceedings developed, Peter continued to produce the hard copy and electronic versions himself.

Peter will be missed as a person and as a super contributor to ASSCT.

The 2020 conference papers are now available for members from the ASSCT web site.

It is our intention to reuse the current USBs by adding next year’s papers to the current  USB’s  and to not distribute these to members this year.  This will save the ASSCT about $5000.
 
However, if you still wish to receive the current USB, notify This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will send one to you.  

Kind regards
