<div>Dear AUC community,<br class="">
<div class="">
<div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">
<p class="MsoNormal">It was great to see many of you in Glasgow recently at the AUC2017 conference. Thanks to Olwyn for putting on a fantastic meeting. The next meeting - the 24<sup class="">th</sup> International AUC Conference (AUC2019) - will be held in
Christchurch, New Zealand.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to canvass your availability for two potential dates in 2019 that are most amenable to hosting AUC2019 at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, where the workshops & Symposium will be held.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first date (Feb 4-8<sup class="">th</sup>, 2019) is at the end of the 2018/19 summer in the southern hemisphere and a great time to visit the Canterbury region—warm, settled weather. It also provides the opportunity to attend the famous
40th Lorne Conference on Protein Structure & Function, which is held in Lorne, Australia (scheduled Feb 10-13, 2019, <a href="http://www.lorneproteins.org/" class="">http://www.lorneproteins.org/</a>).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The 2nd date (Aug 24-28<sup class="">th</sup>, 2019) is at the end of winter/beginning of the spring in the southern hemisphere and is also a great time of the year to visit Canterbury. This would link up with a Queenstown Molecular Biology
Conference, which is held in the picturesque Queenstown, New Zealand (scheduled for 29<sup class="">th</sup> and 30<sup class="">th</sup> August, 2019,
<a href="http://www.queenstownresearchweek.org/" class="">http://www.queenstownresearchweek.org/</a>). </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Accordingly, I have set up a DOODLE at the following website:-
<a href="https://doodle.com/poll/tmgdq7ewmpecfqir" class="">https://doodle.com/poll/tmgdq7ewmpecfqir</a>
<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please visit the above link, type in your name (where indicated), and tick the box(es) indicating the dates you are available. Note: if you are available for both dates, then please tick both. Others will not see you preferred dates.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">More information will follow once the preferred date is established.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking forward to hosting you in beautiful Canterbury in 2019. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please forward on to anyone you think would be interested in attending.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best wishes,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ren<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
