-------------------------------------------------------------
The ninth AVA Christmas Meeting will be held in Room 1.20, Hills Building building at The University of Birmingham on Thursday 16th December 2004.
Invited talks will be given by:
1) Johannes Zanker
(Royal Holloway)
2) Lewis Griffin
(King's College)
3) Steve Dakin
(City University)
Abstracts (max length: 250 words) should be submitted by e-mail to Tim Meese (t.s.meese@aston.ac.uk) by November 1st. Abstracts will be peer reviewed and published in the journal Perception (so long as presenting authors attend the meeting) and should cover previously unreported research on any aspect of vision. Abstracts must be in the standard format for ECVP/Perception (including addresses etc), examples of which can be seen at:
http://www.perceptionweb.com/perc0100/ava99xms.pdf
and
http://www.perceptionweb.com/perc0101/index.html
References should be given in the body of the abstract in full, but without the title.
e.g. (Rayner et al, 2001, Vis Res, 41, 943-954)
Abstract submissions should also include:
1) a statement of preference for a talk or a poster.
2) an indication of any presentation requirements, if other than laptop/powerpoint.
The organisers (Tim Meese and Andrew Schofield) will try to accommodate preferences for a talk or poster but the number of submissions that this meeting now attracts means that this is not always possible. In particular, authors should note that tardy submissions are less likely to be accepted as talks!
With the exception of overseas visitors, attendees *should* pay in advance at the registration rate shown below. If needs be, payment will be accepted on the door though credit card facilities will *not* be available. Overseas visitors may pay on the door but, in any case, we would be most grateful if you could give us advance warning of your intention to attend.

10 25 Pounds Sterling
We will be accepting registration fees using Paypal this year (This is now the preferred option for most AVA transactions). The web address for the payment site will be circulated in a future e-mail. When you use Paypal for the first time it takes a little time to set things up, but thereafter is much quicker. We do hope you will find this a convenient way of paying your registration fee. Alternatively, we still accept cheques.
Cheques (see above) and/or notes of intention to attend the meeting should be sent to Claire Cashman (cashmanc@email.aston.ac.uk) at the address below.

CARS
Parking is pay and display or via a visitors voucher, both cost 80p a day. Probably the best place to park is the lower levels of the south car park. This is accessed direct from Edgbaston Park Road about 100 yards before the main entrance coming from the A38 Bristol Rd. Drivers should go direct to this car park and not enter the campus proper.
TRAINS
The station is called 'University' and is accessed via 'Birmingham New Street'. Through tickets can be bought from anywhere in the country.
Once on campus, finding the Psychology Dept can be tricky, so we recommend that you print out a copy of the map below.
Maps and other details can be found at:

(Note, the venue is building 5 on the Main Edgbaston Campus map)
We look forward to seeing you on the 16th.
