Hi Alize and LOC list, my response as >
<BR>
<P><FONT size=2>1) Technical tours : The ISSA visit in Houwtec might take a bit
longer and result in the delegates only getting to the CTICC @ 13h00. Is this to
late for Lunch? Can we organise with CTICC? Else I must organise with ISSA to do
a finger lunch there. However this is then additional costs. What is your
opinion?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>>This is cutting it fine as some people may need to get on a
bus to a UCT workshop. It might work IF all those tour people are staying for
workshops at the CTICC and the bus isn't any later than that. Else it must leave
earlier in the morning or cut the tour shorter. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Alize, Petro, Graeme: Please edit the <A
