Hi everyone --

This is being sent as a special announcement to all HP4GU members.  As
many of you know, HP4GU is the primary promoter group for Nimbus -
2003: A Harry Potter Symposium, to be held July 17-20, 2003 in
Orlando, FL.  For all the information about Nimbus, take a look at the
website (www.hp2003.org).

We wanted to remind everyone that some Nimbus-related deadlines are
fast approaching.  

First, if you are interested in leading or participating in a
presentation, panel discussion, roundtable or workshop at Nimbus, the
deadline for proposal submissions is January 15, 2003.  We are very
interested in receiving proposals from fans, particularly for "fandom
culture" topics such as fanfiction, fan art, website design &
administration, shipping, etc.   

Please take a look at our FAQ for submitting proposals to Nimbus -- 

http://www.hp2003.org/cfp/cfpfaq2.html

We've defined terms and given suggestions in the above document for
how you can link up with other interested fans to submit a proposal
relating to one of your favorite topics.  If you have a question
that's not covered in the FAQ though, we do give an email address
where you can contact members of the Nimbus staff.

For some suggested topics to help get you started, take a look at the
Call for Participation:

Second, registration fees for Nimbus will increase starting January
16, 2003 (increasing about every 2 months thereafter).  If you want to
get the lowest registration fee for Nimbus ($99.75 USD), register on
or before January 15th!  

Again -- JANUARY 15, 2003 is the deadline for submitting a proposal
and the last day to register at the lowest early-bird registration fee!  

Hope to see you at Nimbus!
