\ET\ will take place at Sobieszewo on an idyllic island off
the coast of Gdansk in Poland.  The conference will run from Monday
September 26th to Friday September 30th, and the \emph{maximum} cost
(based on two persons sharing) will not exceed \$260.00 / 
\pounds175.00 / DM 450.00.  Those arriving early on Monday will be able
to take part in a guided tour of the old town of Gdansk, whilst
Tuesday to Thursday will be jam-packed with talks and tutorials 
on \TeX\ and related topics. 

All delegates will be accommodated in a single building, and for
the whole week will be cut off from civilisation: no
distractions, no need to leave the island: everything will be
provided.  For those unable to sustain the pace, quiet 
walks along the shore searching for amber will provide the ideal
opportunity for therapeutic meditation. 

Papers are solicited \emph{now}, and early registration for the 
conference is advised: with its Central European location and 
idyllic setting, the conference is expected to attract many 
delegates.  If you are even \emph{thinking} of coming, then you are
urged to contact the organisers: we will then add you to the 
mailing list and keep you posted about any changes in the 
schedule.  Please note the following deadlines:
\begin{description}
\item[Confirmed registration:] 1 September 1994 (cancellation charged at 50\%);
\item[Late registration:] 15th September 1994 (no cancellation possible);
\end{description}

Bursaries: as with the TUG meeting at Aston last year, it is hoped to
be able to offer financial assistance to delegates who would otherwise
be unable to attend; of course, we cannot be sure at this stage that
sponsors will be as generous as they were last year, but intending
delegates who will need assistance in order to be able to attend
should indicate in the space provided the \emph{minimum} bursary which
would allow them to be able to attend, and should give clear reasons
why they are applying.  All applications will be treated in the
strictest confidence.  Delegates who are in no need of a bursary and
who are able to assist others less fortunate are urged to pledge a
donation in the space provided.

Tutorials and Courses: It is intended to offer both tutorials (which
will take place during the week of the conference proper), and courses
(which will take place during the week following the conference);
proposed topics include book design and \LaTeXe, but no firm decisions
have yet been taken on topics, durations or costs.  Further details
concerning this area will be circulated as soon as they are known, and
space has been provided on the provisional registration form
(available from the organisers) in which both to indicate an interest
in tutorials/courses and to suggest possible topics.
