Dear Colleagues 

The organisation of the 9th International Conference on Synchrotron 
Radiation (BSR) in Manchester (12-17 Aug.2007) is progressing well.

This message is to seek your support in encouraging your team members, 
departmental and institutional colleagues to make use of the early 
registration offer (a saving of 30%) which expires on 20 December 2006. 
Please note that there is a further substantial savings on group 
registration.

Our finances remain tight. For speakers, we would do the registrations 
later on as we have committed to cover the registration fee for speakers 
(some of you have kindly offered to pay registration - so a big thank you).

For the committee members, we would very much like to cover the 
registration but at this stage we can not commit funds. We would therefore 
encourage the committee members, who are not speakers, to register at the 
current reduced rate. We are working hard to increase our sponsorship and 
hope that this together with other efforts would allow us to reimburse your 
registration fee. So please REGISTER before 20 December 2006.

The detailed programme of BSR is enclosed. Please circulate this to your 
colleagues and collaborators. For further details see the conference web 
pages (www.bsr2007.com).


With best regards
                  Samar Hasnain.
