CHAIRPERSON
We are supposed to have started at ten o'clock, but, as you can see, one of us is missing.  She is not here yet.  There have been some problems this morning which caused her to, not to be here at the time when she should have been here.  So, we thought we should apologise to you.  We know that some of you probably come from very far and you might be wondering as to what is happening.  We will not be able to start until, at the earliest, half past 11, by which time, hopefully, our missing member will be here and as soon as she arrives we will start.  So, we will just adjourn until that time.  We apologise for the inconvenience.
