Where and when is it?
This year's workshop will be held at the University's property at Blackwood

from Friday evening, 22 September to Sunday afternoon 24 September.
How much does it cost?
The cost of this weekend is being subsidised by the School of Physics, but we
will require a contribution of $15 from each School of Physics participant and
$25 from external particpants to cover costs (we will require this
approximately 1 week before the workshop). This will cover accommodation and
all food, drinks etc.
How do I get there?
We are looking for volunteers with cars to help get
people out there.
