The registration charge of R100 will cover tea, coffee, biscuits, the pre-conference reception and a copy of the Proceedings.
Arrangements for accomodation in Cape Town are up to the individual except for the invited speakers. We will endeavour to help those from overseas if requested.
The local hostelries (in or near the SAAO) may be under severe pressure because of the SALT opening, so book early.

We intend to put short abstracts on this website. Decisions on the acceptance of papers will be made by the Scientific Organising Committee. Please check back here for the latest information.
