Dear Philip.

Here's a request from Kapu.

There seems to be some confusion in the minds of some of our batchmates regarding making Hotel bookings for the event.

Kapu wants me to emphasise the fact that there is no need to make advance payments now. But one has to register onself on the prescribed form by early January.

One small technical detail. The Form circulated by the Hotel is in MS Office 2003. For those who have Office 2007 on the computer special care may have to be taken in filling it up.

Could you please circulate this among our contacts.

Regards

Wedi
