YWG Newsletter: September 2010

Dear All,

The 2011 conference is now scheduled for the weekend of 18^th to 20^th February. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Cradle of Life Travel Port in Badplaas, Mpumalanga we are able to keep the cost down to R550 per person which is virtually half price. This will include all meals and the hire of the conference hall from dinner on the Friday evening to breakfast on the Sunday morning. We also suggest that the specialists and consultants undertaking or planning research hold a workshop prior to the conference from 14h00 to 17h00 on that Friday afternoon in order to co-ordinate and discuss these studies. Also note that accommodation is limited to 45 persons.
