Accommodation:
Delegates are responsible for their own bookings and payment. It is paramount to state to the venue of your choice that you will be attending the Combined Congress 2012, because block reservations have been made.

 

Akkommodasie:
Kongresgangers is verantwoordelik vir hul eie akkommodasiebesprekings en -betalings. Dit is kardinaal om aan die blyplek van u keuse te meld dat u die Gesamentlike Kongres 2012 bywoon, want daar is blokbesprekings gedoen.

Presentations:
Deadlines for abstract submission have expired. Paper presenters must please prepare to adhere to their allotted timeframe (see website) because planned schedules are going to be adhered to very strictly. Posters will be on display for the duration of the congress, but no oral session will be scheduled for them. A4-size pouches will be provided to those who bring printed copies, to be mounted where your poster is displayed.

Aanbiedinge:
Die afsnydatum vir indiening van uittreksels het reeds verstryk. Persone wie lesings gaan aanbied, moet asseblief sodanig voorberei dat u nie die toegelate tydraamwerk oorskry nie (sien webblad), want daar gaan uiters streng by die beplande skedule gehou word. Plakkate sal vir die duur van die kongres vertoon word, maar daar is nie voorsiening gemaak vir amptelike mondelinge voordragte nie. Daar sal A4-grootte koeverte beskikbaar wees vir diegene wie kopieë van hulle plakkate saambring om by hul plakkaat beskikbaar te stel.

 

Excursions:
There are four options, viz. conservation agriculture; re-mining and rehabilitation; precision farming and a local, social excursion. Thet are optional extra to the registration fee, but there are no restrictions with regards to choice. However, capacity is limited to 65 persons per option due to practical considerations. Therefore, you are advised to make your selection as early as possible should you not have done so already.

Agri-businesses, concerns or anybody that needs further information or wish to participate/exhibit at the congress could look through our website or contact us at the email address sullivanc@mweb.co.za.

We look forward to see you at this congress and to be your hosts.

Ekskursies:
Daar word vier opsies aangebied, nl. Bewaringsboerdery, Herwinning en rehabilitasie by myne, Presisieboerdery en 'n Sosiale plaaslike toer. Almal is opsioneel-bykomstig tot die registrasiefooi vir die kongres, maar u kan enige opsie kies. Ongelukkig is die totale getal vir elke toer op grond van praktiese oorwegings beperk tot 65 persone.

Landboubesighede, belanghebbendes of enigiemand wie verdere inligting verlang, wil deelneem of uitstal by die kongres, kan ons webwerf deurblaai of ons kontak by eposadres sullivanc@mweb.co.za.

Ons sien uit daarna om u by die kongres te verwelkom en om u gasheer te wees.
