Hi guys,

I'm pleased to announce that the NACAA web site now has the full details of the programme for NACAA XXIII, and that registrations for the workshops are now open, including the costs.

The programme details are at
http://www.nacaa.org.au/nacaa2008/programme
As you'll see, this is the biggest NACAA ever, with parallel streams for almost all of the four days.

Now all we need is record attendances and being based in a city the size of Sydney, why shouldn't this be achieveable? There is plenty of time left to register and also qualify for the early bird draw (Mar 1)

Regards

Glenn

Thanks for the update Glenn
I spend more time in here than in my Email !
I have my tickets to Sydney booked and I'm making preparations for the conference, really looking forward to catching up with everyone.

Hi guys,

There is a gentleman looking to help offset some of the cost over Easter by sharing a room with someone. He doesn't mind even if it is a different motel to the venue one.

Can anyone help? Please PM me and I'll put him in touch.

Regards

Glenn

PS.
Ian, thanks for the post and I'm looking forward to catching up (I'll probably be the one running around like a maniac!)

Sorry rumples I missed your post. Thanks for the positive comments about NACAA and I'm sorry you can't make it this year. I look forward to seeing your images.

Hi guys,

I have just sent out a notice to past attendees of NACAA and have posted it below. It would be great to see a strong IIS presence at the conference. If you are coming please come up and say hello.

Hello to our fellow astronomers,

The arrangements for NACAA XXII, to be held over Easter at Penrith Panthers, Sydney, are now finalized. The complete program is now on the website:

http://www.nacaa.org.au/nacaa2008/programme/schedule

Even a brief glance shows this is possibly the biggest NACAA ever held, with presentations/workshops being run in 2 streams during most of the conference.

Also, final prices for all events are now available, including the separate workshops which I know some people were waiting on before registering. If you look at the registrations page (www.nacaa.org.au/product) there is something to suit every budget from half day up to full registrations (which includes all sessions, tea breaks, lunch, welcome party, the Conference dinner and BBQ).
The half day or one day registration would be ideal for any Sydney amateurs who haven't been to a NACAA but wish to get a taste and minimise the financial and time investment.

If you haven't already, register now! If your payment is received before March 1 you qualify to go in the early bird draw - the prizes for which have been generously donated by our commercial sponsors.
ONLY 8 DAYS TO GO!

On a final note, would you mind circulating this email to as many of your contacts or societies as possible. Please help get the word out!

On behalf of the organising committees we have done our best. Now we ask our fellow amateurs to make NACAA a great success.

Kindest Regards

Glenn Dawes
Convenor, NACAA XXII.
