[Syrphidae] Re: The 8th International Symposium on Syrphidae 2015 - announcement

[ximo mengual sanchis]

Dear Brigitte,

I totally understand academic colleagues... but late June brings other
problems: less flies!

One of the attractions of these symposia is the "last day" excursion, and
my colleagues and I have decided that Beginning of June is the best time.

There is an explanation for all  :)

Best!


Ximo

>> - Single room: 85 euros per night. Total (4 nights) = 340 euros
>> - Double room: 70 euros per night. Total (4 nights) = 280 euros
>>

>>
>> Please answer and give us your opinion.

>> The Organizing Committee of the 8th International Symposium on Syrphidae
>> welcomes all of you!
