+Archiving old Talks
+===================
+
+The old Oxford Talks system is about to be closed down. Talks entered on that system **before February 2015** will be deleted.
+
+If you would like to get a copy of your old talks:
+
+1. Go to http://old.talks.ox.ac.uk/index
+
+2. Find your list and note down its ID number
+
+3. Type the following into the address bar of your browser substituting your list ID number for [ID number]
+
+:: 
+
+     http://old.talks.ox.ac.uk/show/xml/[ID number]?start_time=0
+
+or, for a table (but not quite so much information)
+
+::
+
+     http://old.talks.ox.ac.uk/show/table/[ID number]?layout=empty&start_time=0
+
+4. You can copy and paste this into Notepad or a similar plain text app.
