AIG-5; One Week to Register plus Other Important Information

[Barry Batts]

Colleagues,
Several important pieces of information.  

a.  There are only 7 days left for you to register at the cheaper rate 
and be assured of a place at the conference.  After 15 November 
we have to inform P&O Resorts how many beds/suites we need 
and they then place the remainder on the open market for the 
general public.  If you wish to come after that date we will do our 
best to find you a place, but there is no certainity of our being 
successful and even if we are it may not be of your liking.   

b.  After 15 November the costs of registration for all categories of 
conference attendees increase by $100.

c.  Blair Hostetler (Blair.Hostetler at mq.edu.au) is always grateful 
for expressions of interest for the field excursions.  Spaces remain 
available for all three excursions.  Apart from the free one day 
excursion to the SPP oil shale plant in Gladstone costs cannot be 
closely approximated for the other two excursions until we have a 
better idea of the number of travelers, however, we will send out a 
revised  estimate by 22 November.  

d.  Extended abstracts are due in 20 th. December.  Drs Anita 
Andrew and Sue Golding will be collecting full manuscripts on the 
first day of the conference for submission to Applied Geochemistry 
Journal.  It would be great to have a journal issue dedicated to our 
conference.  It would be a first!  

Don't delay, enrol now!
