Default Payments

You are a grown man. I am sure you can handle this.
You can send a cheque
You can pay cash on arrival
You can transfer by electronic transfer.
and provided this is completed prior to the start of the seminar you are in.
I am looking forward meeting you both

Default Question for Publicist!?

I just saw at Brian Jones website the information about FIDE Arbiter Seminar
which I couldnt' find in the past.
I booked my flights 2 weeks ago with the return at 6.30 pm on Monday, 08/09/2011.
I am not sure why would be the afternoon session on Monday as the last day scheduled to finish at 6.30pm?
However the schedule doesn't provide exact time for Monday?!
Can we do something to finish the exams earlier on Monday, before 5pm?
I'm sure that many Interstate participants would like to fly back home earlier on Monday evening.

I have received the information that IA arbiters will aim to finish the course around 5pm on the last day (Monday) but could someone please confirm it?
Perhaps Publicist knows the Answer?
?

Looks like it is going to be very good. Wish I had a proper job so I could afford to go. Hopefully everyone who goes gets alot out of it including the norm.

Scott, perhaps SA federation would support you?
You have very good experience as an arbiter, it would be good to see you in Melbourne.

Yes, SACA or ACF should help Scott attend the seminar. Australia needs more qualified FIDE Arbiters to replace the oldies (Sorry IA Rolly Eime!)

It is not quite as simple as that.
