The JCMT Advisory Panel and JCMT Board have stressed how important they rate having accommodation available in Hilo for those making extended (say more than one week) stays in Hilo (as opposed to at Hale Pohaku). Therefore, I have organised an apartment in the Hilo Lagoon Centre. This has maid service and general amenities. JCMT visitors will be able to stay in this apartment rent free, but will need to pay for food, telephone and other incidentals. Those wishing to make use of this should contact me. It will be available on a first-come-fitrst-served basis, so book early. Let me stress that this facility is not available for those observers staying a couple of extra days to reduce data - it is specifically for extended stays.

When this apartment is not in use, it will be available for UKIRT visitors at the economic rate.
