[asac] ALMA SAC meeting March 10-11

[Al Wootten]

Dear Alma colleague,

The ALMA SAC meeting on March 10-11 2000 will take place in the small castle
"Oud Poelgeest" in Oegstgeest (don't try to pronounce it!). It is located at
the border of Leiden, within 5-10 minutes drive from the Leiden train station
and Leiden Observatory. The castle dates from the 17'th century, lies in a
little park, and has recently been renovated into a conference center. The
19'th century "Koetshuis" (Coach House) has been refurbished into a modern
three star hotel. The rooms are simple and small (as most European hotel
rooms), but they all have private bath, t.v., telephone etc. There is also a
sauna and fitness room. The "Orangerie" has been converted into a restaurant
for breakfast, lunch and dinner (if needed).

The meeting will start on Friday morning at 10:30 am, so that people can
fly/drive/train in that morning. It will end around 4 pm on Saturday. For
Friday evening, a dinner in an Indonesian restaurant in The Hague will be
arranged, hosted by our National Organization for Scientific Research NWO.

In order to finalize the arrangements, please fill out the accomodation
form below and return it as soon as possible to my secretary, Janet Soulsby
(soulsby at strw.leidenuniv.nl). DEADLINE: JANUARY 21.

Information on travel to Leiden etc. will be sent to you in early February.
Please let Janet know if your mailing address is different from that listed on
the ALMA Web site. There are many direct flights from the US into Amsterdam
with US carriers (or KLM code-shared with NorthWest); fares are cheap at the
moment! From Schiphol airport, it takes 15 minutes by train and 5-10 minutes
by taxi to reach the conference site.

Looking forward to see you all in Leiden!

With best regards,

Ewine
