Hi Laura, you can bypass the registration fee by selecting other payment option in the way I said. In response to another off list query, I should point out that unfortunately this workshop is only open to existing (incorporated recognised) chapters/thorgs, not those still in planning or

Ok, so it seems the redirect to WWW would be better than language auto-detect. Before I switch it from the English mobile (current) to WWW, we have to make sure that WWW is ready - as that would affect all mobile users. Jon, how much work do you think that would be? On Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 1:50
