You may register now, by commenting to this post, without paying just yet - last call for payments will be a month before the event - but we are likely to start poking you before that if you haven’t paid up!
To pay - use this PayPal button.
Unless you make your on-line name obvious from your Paypal payment details please either include the name that the payment will come from in you info in the screened comment, or use the private message function to contact
hils and let me know your real name, so that I can match the Paypal payment with your online identity. This is important, otherwise I will end up with a number of payments with no matching attendee, and a number of attendees without matching payments…
