Apologies for not having sent this earlier, but there are still a few days
left to apply for this workshop. I gather there are already sufficient
applicants, but selections have not been made. Some of you have
participated in previous years.

(It's no longer entirely free, but I understand that the "registration fee"
should be regarded as prepayment for the lunches.)
