> > non-members all over the world who have prepared very relevant and
> > interesting proposals.

> > The Board's (mid-term) meeting was held at the conference venue, on the
> > University of Pretoria campus, and I would like to share with you our
> > enthusiasm for this venue, and the people who will host the event. Prof.
> > Chris Walton, the head of the Music Department, has generously offered to
> > make the facilities of his institute available to us and will enrich our
> > lunch breaks with a very interesting live music programme. Those who want
> > to have a chat with colleagues, or even take a short siesta, can do so on
> > the beautiful lawns of the large park on the campus in the shade of a
> > spreading tree, or simply sit in the cool grass next to a brightly
> > coloured flower-bed. Last but not least, our stay had some impressive
> > culinary highlights, thanks to our hosts who took care of us in a most
> > agreeable manner.
> >
> > Honestly: do you find any reason not to join us in Pretoria this autumn
> > (which will be spring in South Africa)?

> > Looking forward to seeing you
