forward the dates that are currently available at the Convention Centre.
Please refer to email below. Please also note: their response is based on
my request for Sept/Oct, so we can explore earlier in the year, or further into
November/Dec if preferred. It is also based on 6 days, with the preceding
day being the day we had considered being targeted at government only.
Vancouver was 5 days but South Africa are looking at a 6 day
program.</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

is in the exhibition (the 2007 program indicates it is), they will need more

catering will not be offered and we will offer the Bayside Gallery
instead.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
