The proceedings of the Meeting of 24-26 May, together with the Devlin
Lecture, will be published by World Scientific and in due course you will
receive instructions for the production of camera-ready manuscripts. It would
be very much appreciated if manuscripts could be received before the start of
the Meeting.
ACCOMODATION:
All participants will be accommodated on Campus. Participants who
plan to be accompanied should book 2 single rooms since double-accommodation
is not available. The cost of single-room accommodation is IR£15.00 including
Irish breakfast. Evening Tea (dinner) costs IR£5.50. Because some of you might
find it useful to book your return flights for Sunday 28 May and avail of
Apex air fares, it will be possible to extend accommodation on Campus also for
Saturday night the 27th. The Meeting will start in the morning of Wednesday
24. May, so it would be convenient to arrive during the AFTERNOON of Tuesday
23. May. Those wishing to attend also the Irish Quantum field theory Meeting
on 22-23 May could arrive on the evening of Sunday 21. May.
PLEASE let me have the dates(nights) for which you wish to book
accommodation. Also specify for which evenings you will wish to have Evening
Tea. It would be very helpful, and much appreciated, if you would send a
remittance for your accommodation in advance by Eurocheque or Banker's
Draft in Irish Pounds, payable to St Patrick's College Maynooth (Math-Phys).
