------------------------------
Most of you will hopefully be in hotels which are walking
distance from the University. The local area map http://www.gla.ac.uk/homepages/visitors/index.html
shows the location of the University within the West End of Glasgow, but to
find your way around campus you will need the detailed map at http://www.physics.gla.ac.uk/location.html
If you are travelling to the meeting from within the UK, we
DO NOT RECOMMEND that you come to the University by car, as parking around the
University is very restricted. If you do have to bring your car, please let us
know in advance so we can try and have a spot reserved for you on campus (no
guarantees, unfortunately). There is information on getting here at
http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/general/getting-here.shtml
------------------
The meeting starts on Wednesday 24th March at 9am in Lecture
Room 312 of the Kelvin Building. This will be signposted from the main foyer of
the Kelvin Building. The building, and the lecture theatre, will open from
8.30am. The first plenary session (9-10) will provide an introduction to the
meeting and local information. Thereafter we will break up into 3 groups and
follow the timetable given at http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/eduard/rhessi/workshop2/program.html
---------
The breakout and main rooms will be equipped with
dataprojectors, overhead projectors and whiteboards/blackboards. Please let us
know if you anticipate using anything else. REMEMBER, though your
laptops will be able to cope with local voltage and frequency, you will need an
adaptor to change to one of UK 3-pin electrical plugs. We do not follow the
European standard
system. So what's new. A picture of a UK plug can be found
on:
http://www.chemeng.ucl.ac.uk/SummerSchool/info/infotext.htm#Electrical
Ample internet access will be available via our terminals
and for participants' laptops though the main aim is personal scientific
interaction. Please also consider bringing 802.11b/g wireless cards for
wireless access within the building. See

We have complete mirror of RHESSI data files that are
available locally at /opt/rhessi or via anonymous ftp://ftp.astro.gla.ac.uk/pub/rhessi
--------------
It is the responsibility of the WG leaders to direct the
programme for the individual working groups. You should all have been contacted
by your team leader in this regard.
-------------------------
Scheduled coffee breaks will be held in the departmental
common room, which will be signposted. There are no plans for catered lunches,
but there are ample cafes, restaurants and sandwich bars in the area. We will
provide a list at the meeting.
----------------------------------------------
March and April are normally fantastic when it is not
raining with temperatures in the high 60s. So bring a sweater, a raincoat and a
bikini (or equivalent).

places to eat and things to do, but there is some local information on the
