This is a message to all those with an interest in attending the postponed International Paleolimnology Symposium in Guadalajara. You will remember that we made an announcement on the 12th May that we intended to hold the re-scheduled meeting in June 2010. However, we have now become aware that the financial penalties for such a long delay will be unacceptable for many intending participants, and that there is a stronger case for holding the meeting sooner rather than later. On that basis the IPA Executive Committee has today agreed that the re-arranged meeting will now be held this year from December 15th to 18th. It will clash with the annual AGU meeting in San Francisco, but that in the circumstances sadly becomes unavoidable. We can only ask those that might have attended both meetings to make a choice. On behalf of the committee I want to apologise for this switch in our decision and I do hope that everyone who had planned to attend the original meeting this summer will be able to re-arrange their schedules for December. I hope also that those who were unable to attend in June this year might now be able to meet up in December as well. Margarita Caballero will be providing details of the new arrangements for December as soon as possible. Margarita also has the problem of sorting out the issues surrounding the cancellation of the June meeting. No doubt many of you will need to contact her to discuss your personal circumstances, especially those of you who need your registration fees repaid, but please remember how much pressure she is under at this moment and be both patient and understanding in your communications! Despite the problems of the last few weeks in remains an exciting venue for our conference and I have no doubt the conference will be a great success. Please do come along!
