[Manodeep Sinha]

Dear ASA members,

This is a final call for registrations at the SciCoder Sydney workshop 
that will start on Monday, Dec 3. If you would like to attend, please 
register asap - registrations will close on Friday at noon.

We will continue to process any requests for financial support on a 
first-come-first-served basis as long as we have available funds. If you 
have already applied for financial support and have not heard from us, 
please get in touch with us immediately.

Cheers,
Manodeep (on behalf of the ASA ECR Chapter)
