Summary
This is the first of two volumes of the Proceedings of Groups 1993 Galway / St Andrews. There is a full contents of both volumes and papers written by authors with the name of the first author lying in the range A-K. Contained in this part are the papers of the main speakers J L Alperin, M Broué and P H Kropholler, and we would like especially to thank them for their contributions both to the conference and to this volume. There is some perturbation in strict alphabetical order at the join between the volumes and the second volume contains papers written by authors with the name of the first author lying in the range H-Z.
