CORRECTED TIME:
16:00 (not 17:30)
Apologies for the repeated announcement, but I made a mistake: the SIG "HCI
with Sports" takes place
Tuesday, 30 Apr, 16:00 (not 17:30) in front of room 361 at CHI
as it says in the program! The program was right, I was wrong, my
apologies. Details in the previous email and below.
Hope to see you with your runners!
Thanks,
Floyd
