CONFERENCE 2005
The complete Conference programme with Speakers' photos, biographies and talk information is now on the web in all four of this multi-lingual conference's languages. Even if you do not speak other languages, do click around all the pages. Visit www.astrologicalassociation.com and look for CONFERENCE 2005. Imagine people who understand other languages doing the same. For four days from 30th September until 4th October 2005, you can all be speaking the same astrological language together!!!
This is a remarkable opportunity to get to know new areas and methods of astrology and make contacts with people from all over the world. At the time of writing we have delegates from Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, USA, as well as the UK. Such opportunities are rare and not to be missed. Imagine what new opportunities and understandings will come from spending four days with such a fascinating and highly knowledgeable group of people - you can even book just for the weekend, if time is tight.
To help you do this, Council have agreed to accept bookings at the end-of-June price level for the first sixty applicants we receive after 30th June 2005. Remember, if six people book together, each of you receive a 10% discount on the Conference price.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
