A message from Dr. Conkling: Welcome to the new Summer Pyrotechnic Seminar website. We have been offering seminars on the chemistry of energetic materials since 1983, and will be offering our next Summer program in the summer of 2010 on the beautiful Washington College campus in historic Chestertown, Maryland. Due to the large number of applicants for the July 2009 "The Chemistry of Pyrotechnics and Explosives" seminar at Washington College – some of whom we were unable to accept due to classroom size limitations – I will be offering a special Winter 2010 version of the course in San Antonio, Texas next January 2010. The class will be held at the Doubletree Hotel San Antonio, located close to San Antonio International Airport. The program will run for four days, from January 25-28, and from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m, each day. Tentative plans include one afternoon of demonstrations at an off-site location. We will provide a continental breakfast and lunch each day for the attendees. Attendees will make their own hotel arrangements, as well as take care of their other meals. There is a special rate available at the Doubletree for seminar attendees. The cost of this program will be $1,500, which includes a copy of “The Chemistry of Pyrotechnics” and a handout of the lecture notes. We hope that you will consider recommending this program to your colleagues. We can accept payment by credit card (VISA or MasterCard), by check (payable to Summer Pyrotechnic Seminars), or by EFT payment (Summer Pyrotechnic Seminars is a CCR-registered entity). Details can be obtained by e-mailing us or calling the Seminar office number (410-778-6825). Full details, including registration forms, for the January, 2010 seminar is available here. Please note that registration for the January, 2010 class will be held on Monday morning,
1/25, at the Doubletree, beginning at 7:00 a.m., and the actual seminars will follow at 8:00 a.m. ***If you are considering attending the January program, PLEASE call or E-mail me so we will have an idea of interest in the program, while you await getting official approval to attend. There is no obligation on your part in doing this – we will contact you if the class is filling up or if we need to consider cancelling it due to lack of enrollment. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about the program, please feel free to e-mail them to me at: jconkling2@washcoll.edu. John A. Conkling, Ph.D. Dr. John Conkling |
