In association with Phillip Calais and Jonathon Thwaites, I will be presenting Biodiesel workshops in Adelaide on the weekend of 18,19th March and in Melbourne on the weekend of 25,26th March.

CORRECTION - Due to SA state elections the dates are transposed.Melbourne on 18th, adelaide on the 25th.
This also conflicts with the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne and some motor racing in Adelaide, but we can live with that.

Please check out the details on UWA Sustainability Page

Any bookings or enquiries should be referred to Jonathon Thwaites, University of WA, 08 6488 7932 or 0419 924 355 <jthwaites@admin.uwa.edu.au>

I look forward to seeing some of the Australian forum members while in the East.

G'day Tony,

Could you please double check your dates for the workshops in Melbourne and Adelaide. The calendar says one thing and this thread says another.

Cheers, Steve.

Yes please Tony! This could have been my fault as I did the calendar entries initially, then there was a change in the dates. Now that the timing is so close , I'd hate for people to get the wrong info . The UWS website does concur with my calendar entires, but not with Tony's post above.

I am booked in for this saturday 18/03/2006 at ceres at brunswick.
What a name ceres is it an abbreviation.

Anything we need to take with us to this workshop.

Sorry about the confusion in dates. The website is correct. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I will amend the dates above after I make this post.

Dodge,
Just bring yourself, you may wish to make notes, so bring a pen. You will recieve a printout of the presentations with plenty of room to make notes. We are hoping to have tea and coffee available at the venue for morning and afternoon tea and CERES has a Cafe on site so we can get lunch there.

Latest on bookings - 24 registered. Venue has room for up to 50, so there is plenty of room for others.

Note: this is a Not for Profit event, all proceeds not used in transport, accommodation and operating costs are returned to the community groups (UWA and WARFA) which are involved in the organisation of the events.
The presenters are NOT paid for presenting the workshops.

NEWSFLASH:
Additional workshop is planned for Mount Gambier.
Venue: Mount Gambier High School
Date 22nd March '06

A really great show in Brunswick today, Tony and Phil. Worth every cent!!

On behalf of all of us who wished we were there - can anyone give us any stories about the day, photos, useful info learned etc? Perhaps Darren could pop something up on melbournebiodiesel.org (or I could also help with that if need be).
Great to hear that they went well.
