NOTES:

1) The person to contact for registration is Clare Cashman 
(cashmanc at email.aston.ac.uk)
2) For the first time we are accepting registration fees using Paypal 
this year (This is now the preferred option for most AVA 
transactions). You will find the payment site at 
http://www.dmu.ac.uk/ava/aston03.html
When you use Paypal for the first time it takes a little time to set 
things up, but thereafter is much quicker. We do hope you will find 
this a convenient way of paying your registration fee.
3) There has been another security drive on Aston Campus. If you will 
be visiting us by car please pass on your car registration details to 
Clare who will forward them to security. Without this, you might not 
get entry to the campus, or you might get clamped.
4) We look forward to seeing you on the 17th Dec. But please drop 
Clare a note if you intend to come.
