AVA 2000 - Applied Vision Association Annual Meeting - Motion Perception 
and Imaging

15 March 2000, College of Optometrists, 42 Craven Street, London WC2N 5NG

Registration is £25UK for non AVA members and £16UK for members (£15UK and 
£10UK for students) which includes refreshments and lunch.

If you intend to come then at the very least please let us know before 6
