Previous meetings of The African Mycological Association (AMA) were held in Mauritius, Egypt, Zimbabwe and, most recently, in Kenya in 1998. During the previous International Mycological Conference (IMC) held in Oslo, Norway an interim committee was established to revive AMA. You are therefore cordially invited to participate in the coming AMA congress, to be held at the Hartenbos Beach Resort near Mossel Bay in the Western Cape, South Africa. This meeting will also provide delegates with an excellent opportunity to attend the Southern African Society for Plant Pathology Congress (SASPP) on 23-26 January 2005 and the 4th International Workshop on Grapevine Trunk Diseases on 20-21 January.



Apart from providing African mycologists with a unique opportunity to foster collaboration and present their latest research findings, an AMA general meeting will be held to elect a new executive committee and to discuss, amongst other aspects, amendments to the Association’s constitution.
