>Mid-August, 1997, St-Petersburg, Russia
>First circular
>This is the first call for participation in the WOGOGOB-97 meeting and
field excursion in the vicinity of St.-Petersburg. It gives general
information and aims to estimate the participation of Ordovician workers in
this event.
>1. Terms
>	The Vth WOGOGOB meeting is planned to be held in St.-Petersburg,
All-Russian Geological Institute (VSEGEI) from August, 10 to 16, 1997. 
>
>2. Preliminary program
>	The first two days will be devoted to lectures on the following topics:
>A. Palaeontology and Biostratigraphy, B. Sedimentology and Sequence
Stratigraphy and C. Palaeogeography.
>	This will be followed by the three or four days within the area of
classical Ordovician localities in the neighbourhood of St.-Petersburg
(distance from the center of the city 30 to 100 km).
>	Though this meeting traditionally focusses on the Baltic area, non-Baltic
and non-European Ordovician workers are welcome to participate both in the
meeting and field excursion. S. Finney and B. Webby have asked that a
business meeting of the SOS be scheduled for at least one evening during the
WOGOGOB event in St.-Petersburg.

>3. Approximate costs
>	Because of uncertainties of the economic situation in the country costs
will be given in detail closer to the event in the Second Circular
(February, 1997). However, we are aiming at an approximate cost of $100US
per day including accomodation. To cover administration costs and field trip
transportation the registration fee will be approximately $150US. An attempt
will be made to make price differentiation between students/nonstudents.
Until now no sponsors have been found, any advice concerning sources of
financial support would be greatly appreciated.
