MINI-WORKSHOP BLED 2008: FEW-QUARK STATES AND THE CONTINUUM Bled (Slovenia), September 15-22, 2008 THIRD CIRCULAR Dear Colleagues, The preparation of the WORKSHOP is proceeding well. We now need a confirmation of your participation in order to plan the reservation of rooms and selection of topics. (If you are not sure yet, please state the % probability). Please, send us also the probable date of arrival and departure and wishes regarding the room (sharing a room in Villa Plemelj, single use of room in Villa Plemelj, or if not available, Hotel). We encourage the use of shared rooms in Villa Plemelj (they have two beds, bathroom and kitchen corner) in order to have most participants together in the same building. We expect most participants to arrive on Monday September 15 and leave on Monday September 22. If you plan to arrive earlier or leave later, please let us know so that we can make the arrangements. 2. We have opened the web-page of the workshop: http://www-f1.ijs.si/Bled2008. You will find there the very probable list of participants, the titles and outlines of their topics (as soon as we get them), as well as some general and travel information. The web-page will be periodically updated and completed. TENTATIVE LIST OF PARTICIPANTS So far we obtained positive answers from the following colleagues (We are expecting a few more answers; *=not confirmed) Patrick Achenbach (Mainz): Physics of Hypernuclei as seen by an experimenter.
