1) Venue
   -----
   
We originally planned to hold the meeting on-site at ESA's Satellite Tracking
station in Villafranca. However, the meeting has proved very popular, with
about 130 people registering. This is more than the station can comfortably
accommodate, especially in parallel to XMM's commissioning. Thus, rather than
restrict attendance, we have decided to move the workshop off-site to a nearby
civic centre, around 1 km distance from the tracking station.

The workshop will now take place at the 

	Centro Civico "El Castillo"
	c/ Valle de Esteribar s/n
	Villafranca del Castillo
	28692 MADRID
	
On the conference web site a telephone number will be posted shortly,
where messages can be left during conference hours for participants. 
	
All activities related to the workshop will be made there, including lunches.

A map showing the workshop venue is available at:

       http://www.iso.vilspa.esa.es/meetings/beyondthepeaks/venue.html

The conference will take place in the theatre located in the Centre. 
Posters will be displayed just outside the room (Maximum size allowed: 
A0 (1.2m height X 0.9 m width). There will be two viewgraph projectors
for the talks. A slide and PC projector will also be available on request.


2) Transportation
   --------------
   
A free bus service will be available from the Hotel Florida Norte in Madrid
(cf. 2nd Announcement) to/from the workshop venue, to/from the conference
dinner and to the airport at the end of the workshop. For best planning, 
please send us the filled-in form.

3) Social Events
   -------------
   
A welcome buffet will be offered to the workshop participants at the VILSPA
tracking station on the evening of the first day, at 18:00, followed by
a tour through the station, including the XMM control room.

On the second day, a conference dinner will be served at the restaurant

	Monte Alina
