Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 56th Annual
Congress which will be held in the Feather Market Centre
in Port Elizabeth from Monday 30 August 2010 until
Thursday 2 September 2010.
Please note: The congress this year is a 4 day congress
for both delegates and trade.
Letter from the Chairman
This is only the second time that the Eastern Cape is
hosting the Annual Congress.
The Eastern Cape is the traditional home of the Xhosa
Nation and the area in which the English speaking 1820
settlers established themselves after being landed in
Algoa Bay. We are blessed with a temperate climate,
spectacular beaches and are a mecca for water –
sports enthusiasts.
Our economy is largely based on agriculture and industry.
The area of land given over to game farming has
increased dramatically and we have some of the finest
game reserves in South Africa.
Accompanying persons are most welcome and the
committee is arranging a varied program of tours and
entertainment. The academic program will combine
free papers, instructional courses and workshops.
We invite you to submit abstracts for free papers and
posters to be presented at the congress. Abstracts must
be submitted online before
30 April 2010.
February 2010
The traditional Golf Tournament will be held at
Humewood Golf Club - rated one of the 10 most difficult
golf courses in South Africa.
The invited guest speakers for the Instructional courses
are: Clive Duncan [Arthroplasty] Kerr Graham [Paediatric Orthopaedics ]
Dean Sotereanos [ Hands].
We look forward to hosting you at the end of August,
renewing old friendships and making new ones .
Kind regards
Colin Audley
Congress Committee Chairman
