========================================

Dear All,

Here is the final announcement for our meeting at Hoher List. Thanks again for the great interest in the HoLi meeting. This year we will have 28 participants from 5 countries, making this years meeting as large as the one last year.

We have finalised the program and you can find it on our webpage:

http://www.astro.uni-bonn.de/~holger/hlmeeting/2006/hl.html

We have organised the meeting into 5 sessions of about 90 mins with coffee breaks in between. Each speaker has about 20 mins for his/her talk followed by 10 mins discussion. Please check if we got your details right. The main aim of the "RSDN" meeting is that people get to know each other and interested in each others work and can think of chances about collaboration. So it is not necessary to present talks about final results. Also if you want to talk for a somewhat longer or shorter time it should be fine.

We have the following announcements:

- People staying at the observatory do not have to bring a sleeping bag or bedding since bedding will be provided by the observatory. But feel free to bring and use your own sleepeing bag etc. if you like to do so. In order to cover the cleaning costs, we have to ask for a small (additional) fee of 10 Euros from everybody staying at the observatory.

- We will provide breakfast for people who stay at Hoher List on Saturday and Sunday. We will also organise lunch on Saturday and Sunday, so its not necessary to bring your own food. On Friday and Saturday evening we will have dinner in a restaurant in Schalkenmehren at 8pm (not covered by the conference fee of 13 Euro).

- We will also buy coffee and cookies for the coffee breaks.

- To cover the above costs we will have to ask you for a "conference fee" of about 13 Euros, payable by all please, even those staying for one day only.

- Since Pension Kraterblick was closed, we have reserved rooms for 15 people in the Hotel Schneider (Maarstr. 22). Schneider is the Hotel in the centre of Schalkenmehren (on the right side if you come from Mehren). On Friday evening we will also have dinner in the Hotel Schneider at 8pm.

- Since we are nearly 30 people, it would be good if everybody can bring a name badge. A leftover badge from some previous conference will do.

- People who do not want to bring their own notebooks can bring a USB stick and give their talks on one of our computers. Please prepare a PDF or Keynote File containing your slides.

We wish you a good trip to HoLi Mountain and look forward to seeing you there !

Yours,
Holger and Pavel
