Instead of another week long session later in the ATNF semester there are a series of short (1-3 day sessions) running roughly once a month November 2010 through February 2011. The information on here to date covers just the November and December sessions. Although we know that there will be further v434 (2.3 GHz) experiments in each monthly session.
