From craig@amanzi.org Wed Jul 2 12:41:00 1997 Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 12:18:44 +0200 (SAT) From: Craig Taverner To: indaba-reg@amanzi.org Subject: IndabaII Newsletter (including programme) Hi all, The Indaba is only one month away and everything is coming together beautifully. Over 70 attendees have registered, bringing the total number, including accompanying persons, to over 100. The scounting party to the Kruger Park was very successful, and Skukuza camp is ready and waiting. The programme is complete and the web page is being updated to include all the latest information. However, there are still many abstracts outstanding. *** In order for your abstract to be included in *** *** the book of abstracts we need an electronic *** *** version by FRIDAY 11 JULY at the very lastest *** Details concerning abstract submission and acceptable electronic formats can be found on the web page. (http://www.gh.wits.ac.za/indaba) Accomodation arrangements are being finalized, so if there are any outstanding accomodation queries, please contact us by email as soon as possible. As always the best email address to use for all Indaba queries is indaba-org@hobbes.gh.wits.ac.za.
