We are very proud to announce some exciting news. In the past week we have confirmed sponsorship of R60 000 for the Conference from ABSA Bank! ABSA has also indicated a willingness to enter into a long-term partnership with the CMRS to support the annual conference in the future.
The immediate upshot of this news is that we are now in a position to announce a reduction in the Conference registration fee. Effective immediately the registration fee will be reduced to R395 for Scholars requiring accommodation and R200 for those not requiring accommodation. For those Scholars who have already registered we will make sure to refund you for your payment via electronic transfer. Please submit your bank details to Nyasha to receive your money back.
Remember, registrations close THIS FRIDAY 7 August. To book your place please complete the registration forms, make your payment and email the completed forms and proof of payment to Nyasha at cmrs.conference@gmail.com without delay.
Please take note of several other important pieces of information:
1. If you still need financial assistance to attend the Conference please contact Nyasha before WEDNESDAY 5 August and follow the procedure outlined in the 'Financial Assistance Document'.
2. We encourage all Scholars to pay the little bit extra to stay in the Rhodes residence. Not only are Rhodes residences 5-star quality (much better than sleeping on someone’s floor!) but you would be missing out on the fun and togetherness of staying in one big group. As a result, the R200 ‘no accommodation’ option is largely there for Scholars living in Grahamstown.
3. For those flying into Port Elizabeth or bussing to Grahamstown, please make your bookings as soon as possible. With the Highway Africa Conference happening at the same time as the CMRS conference flights and bus tickets are likely to be snapped up quickly. Avoid the hassle of having to taking connecting flights via Pofadder by booking now!
