SECOND ANNONCEMENT

Please fill in the online Hotel reservation form even if you don't know yet exact details about your travel plan. You may complete the form later on.

PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO KNOW THAT VERY FEW SINGLE ROOMS ARE AVAILABLE AND, THEREFORE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MEET ALL THE REQUESTS. OLDER PARTICIPANTS WILL BE PRIVILEGED.

THE DEADLINE FOR THE HOTEL RESERVATION IS April 30, 2008. Reservations received after that date will be cancelled.

To confirm your participation you are kindly requested to make a non-refundable advance payment of euros 150 (cost of the registration) at the bank account quoted below. The balance of the participation fee will be paid upon arrival at the hotel reception.

PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME
A preliminary programme will be scheduled based on the information received and posted on the workshop website as soon as possible; you will find also the preliminary list of the contributors and the participants list. Please check there and inform us about any missing and/or incorrect information, changes, etc. As soon as your travel plans are defined, please inform us: we'll organize a better transportation service from Brindisi/Lecce to Gallipoli and put your lecture/poster presentation during your permanence.

ORGANIZATIONAL MATTER
The Workshop will take place at the Hotel "Ecoresort LE SIRENE'" in Gallipoli (Lecce). The hotel is located about 4 km south of Gallipoli, by the sea.
The closest airport is in Brindisi. The airport in Bari has no direct connection to Lecce or Gallipoli but there are some regional train connections (see www.trenitalia.com). The closest Railway station is located in Lecce. There is a regional train connection between Lecce and Gallipoli but it takes a long time to get there.
No other public transportation is available, but starting from the middle of June special bus lines, at a moderate fare, will cover different sites in Salento (one of the bus stop is located close to the Hotel). The service is under regional Committee approval for every year and at the moment we can't say if it will actually work or notr. Check at the website www.salentointrenoebus.com.

ARRIVAL DAY (June 12)
Special free transportation (either in the morning or in the afternoon/evening) from the Brindisi airport and the Lecce Railway station to the Hotel in Gallipoli will be organized (see groups). Participants who have informed us about their travel plan will take advantage of it. Since Gallipoli is not well connected with Lecce (and the rest of the Apulia as well) people arriving without announcing their plan will be forced to use a discontinue public bus service and a very expensive taxi service or the slow regional train connection.
People arriving on different days are kindly requested to inform us in advance, so we can try (if possible) to pick them up, or provide them with detailed information on the best way to get to Gallipoli. Please check at the "Travelling" link on this website. If you arrive in Gallipoli by a local train or by bus, or if you arrive in Brindisi or Lecce in different days, please call the secratariat at the Hotel " Le Sirene' ".
On how to get to the Hotel by car please check on the website (Travelling link).
