>Dear Members:
>
>As you undoubtedly know the next meeting of FENS will be held in
>Brighton, UK from 24-28
>June 2000. Now that the deadline of early registration has passed,
>it is evident that the
>Brighton meeting will be THE meeting of Neuroscience in Europe this
>year. Already well over
>3500 registrations from all over Europe, Japan and North America
>have been received. At
>this stage more than 3000 abstracts were submitted. Never was the
>interest for a European
>Neuroscience meeting 4 months prior to the meeting so enormous. A
>compliment for the
>British Neuroscience Association, the Local Organizing Committee and
>the Program
>Committee is more than appropriate.
>
>Thus if you have not registered yet or if you are still in doubt
>whether or not you should go to
>Brighton, it is now the time to make up your mind. For,  you are
>about to miss a truly
>international and multi-disciplinary meeting that will be THE
>European Neuroscience event of
>the year. Even for late registration the fee is fair and should not
>be prohibitive.
>In fact if you contact Mike Stewart of the LOC you can still arrange
>for meetings of EU
>networks, board meetings of societies or journals etc. at Brighton.
>Visit the FENS or Brighton websites and make sure that you make it
>to Brighton. The FENS
>and the Brighton meeting are in excellent shape and we all look
>forward to see you in
>Brighton.

>There are now nearly 4000 registrants, 3250 abstracts and 100
>companies supporting the
>Exhibition at FENS 2000 in Brighton this year. We are, therefore, on
>target for being the
>largest gathering of neuroscientists ever in Europe. Please
>remember, you can still register
>any time up to the meeting, and we welcome 'on-site' registrations as well.
>
>The following information is important for all registrants and for
>those registrants who have
>also submitted abstracts:
>
>(1)  All the abstracts have now been refereed. If you have NOT been
>contacted concerning
>either the content of your abstract, or your missing registration
>fee, then you can safely
>assume that your abstract has been accepted into the final
>programme. You should make
>appropriate travel and accommodation plans NOW. Guidelines for
>poster preparation and for
>oral communications can be found on PAGE 4 of the CALL FOR
>ABSTRACTS. Confirmation
>of your session listing (date, time and venue) will be sent to you
>at the latest SIX WEEKS
>before the start of the  meeting.
>
>(2) Please remember Brighton is a busy seaside resort in the summer
>which means heavy
