Dear Users of the Australia Telescope National Facility,

The Australia Telescope Users Committee (ATUC) meet regularly to discuss
issues that affect users of the ATNF. The next ATUC meeting is to be held
at the ATNF headquarters in Marsfield on the 2nd and 3rd June, 2015, and
will be preceded on the 1st June by an ATUC Science Meeting entitled

"The future of ATCA and Parkes in the ASKAP/SKA era”.

Exact meeting times will be posted on the ATUC webpages a week or two
before the meeting.

ATUC invites the Australian radio telescope user community to participate in the
science day to discuss the future of current Australian radio facilities and in particular,
their synergy with ASKAP. There will be a number of invited talks, and we welcome
contributed talks from the user community. There will be ample time for discussion scheduled.
