Please help the organisers of the 2005 Australasian
Shorebird Conference?
The convenors of the 2-yearly Australasian Shorebird Conference
are asking everyone who might be interested in attending this years Conference,
11-13 December 2005, in Nelson, New Zealand, to let them know ASAP so
that they can decide on a suitable sized venue they need to book in advance.
They need to get a rough idea of numbers.
The ASC will follow on from the Australasian Ornithological
Conference, also being held on the South Island of New Zealand. There will be
plenty of opportunities to take part in organised field trips to look at New Zealand’s
unique birds before and after the conferences.

them know if you are intending to attend the Conference and if you are

half full. If anyone would like to give a talk, please let Phil Battley know.
Please forward this message to
anyone you think might be interested.
Many thanks!
