Dear colleagues Apologies for cross posting. We have had a very busy period in the lead-up to our abstract and early-bird deadline. There has been a great response and we're confident that it's going to be a tremendous conference. To allow a few extra people to get their abstracts in, we have decided to extend both deadlines (abstracts and early-bird registration) to midnight GMT on Tuesday 22nd April). Note that there will be no further extensions! Session convenors are already looking at abstracts and we expect to be in touch with all presenters shortly with confirmation of their abstracts. Sincerely Steve Hillier and Kevin Murphy Mineralogical Society
