When Professor John Sprent first suggested, in 1982, that the
Australian Society for Parasitology should bid for the opportunity
to mount the Sixth International Congress of Parasitology, the
immediate reaction was one of disbelief. However, in the two years
or so before ICOPA 5, in Toronto, he used his considerable powers
to the utmost and spent himself unstintingly in persuading
Australian parasitologists to put together a bid. The Society
inevitably agreed, for it is difficult to prevent such a determined
and eminent man from getting his own way! A case for an Australian
venue was prepared and, as President, I was charged with the task
of convincing the delegates in Toronto that Australia was worth
going all the way to see. The events of that meeting are now far in
the past; suffice to say that, in the end, Australia won by the
narrowest of margins, largely due to the energy of my inventive
colleagues who put the case for Australia at every possible and
improbable moment. I do not remember a great deal about the
scientific aspects of ICOPA 5. I was far too preoccupied with an
awful spectre, that of telling John Sprent that I had failed, to
pay attention to much other than lobbying for votes. I do remember,
however, telling myself how much I would enjoy the next ICOPA
without the terrible responsibility of capturing ICOPA 7.
