ACCOMMODATION:

Since all of January is a peak time for tourism in Cape Town, it is urgent
that you book the accommodation as soon as possible. It is easy to do it
independently through Internet of course. However, the following additional
information should be helpful: We recommend that participants book either

1. All Africa House http://www.cal.uct.ac.za/ . This is very nice and
reasonable accommodation on the campus within 10 mins walking distance of
the conference venue. They are reserving  20 rooms for us until the end of
October. Please contact Callie at prezandt@protem.uct.ac.za (Web:
www.cal.uct.ac.za ) to make a reservation and mention that you are a
participant in the Max Kelley Conference.

2. Alternatively, if you prefer to stay in the City, we recommend the
Victoria and Alfred Waterfront http://www.waterfront.co.za/ which has a
number of hotels (some quite expensive) in particular the Breakwater Lodge
Hotel. In fact we have made an agreement with the Breakwater Lodge Hotel;
they are retaining some rooms for conference participants at a (mildly)
reduced rate. If you wish to reserve a room there we can provide you with a
reference to include in your application for a reservation. The Waterfront
is very attractive and a prime tourist destination with many good
restaurants and shops and is situated in the working harbour about 15
minutes by car from UCT.

If you prefer a hotel or B&B near UCT then you can make your own
arrangements by consulting the web page
http://www.mth.uct.ac.za/sams/accomodation.html which summarises options.
(This page was constructed for another conference which is being hosted by
UCT). If you hire a car then you need not restrict yourself to any of the
options mentioned above. Note that if you are staying for an additional week
then you may choose to change accommodation in the second week to suit your
purpose.

REGISTRATION:
Please email us the following information:

1. Full Name and Affiliation/Address (as you prefer it to appear in the list
of Participants):
2. Pleae indicate if you would you like to give a talk and if so the
preferred duration. The final time allotted will be at the discretion of the
Scientific Committee.
3. Do you intend to stay on after the conference for an additional week?
