York - The Venue

The North’s spiritual capital for 2000 years, York is central to Britain’s colourful history. It is a compact walled riverside city, with glorious architecture at every turn. York is home to countless world-class attractions, including the stunning, un-missable and internationally-renowned York Minster.

York offers excellent tourism opportunities for all ages – how about bringing your family and extending your stay?

By Car
York Racecourse is just outside the city of York with good motorway links to the M1 and A1. Plentiful, free on-site parking is available to delegates of this Conference.

By Rail
Fast and frequent services take less than 2 hours from London and Manchester and 21/2 hours from Birmingham and Edinburgh. The Racecourse is 2 miles from the station.

By Air
Leeds/Bradford and Manchester International Airports are within 50 and 90 minutes respectively.

ACCOMMODATION

For convenience of booking at the same time as registering, the Organisers have made block bookings with hotels as local to York Racecourse as possible.

The line-up of Conference Hotels is provided as a helpful guide to participants. It does not represent all the accommodation venues available: York offers a huge range.

All requests for accommodation must be received on the Registration Form with appropriate payment (this may be in the form of a credit card guarantee). All rates are inclusive of breakfast and value added tax, unless otherwise stated. Please note that some Hotels are offering single rooms as well as single occupancy rooms. A single occupancy room will give you a bigger room.

Booking Procedure

To book your accommodation you may provide either:

i) your credit card number (the card will NOT be charged by the Conference Secretariat and will be forwarded to the Hotel, who will charge it on your arrival or departure. If you fail to arrive, a charge may be made by the hotel, according to the hotel’s cancellation policy)

or

ii) a deposit of 1 night’s stay at your hotel

The accommodation account (less the deposit paid including any extras) is payable by you directly to the hotel on your departure. A receipt for all accommodation costs will be available from your hotel on departure.

Please Note:

• Accommodation cannot be guaranteed after 1st June 2007 as allocations will need to be returned to the hotels. Where allocations are filled, the Organisers will make an equivalent substitution if possible.
• Cancellations: All accommodation alterations or cancellations must be submitted in writing to the Conference Secretariat. Any cancellations after 1st June 2007 may incur a loss of one night’s deposit.
• All guarantees – either one night’s deposit or a credit card number must be received 28 days prior to the Conference. If neither a credit card number nor a deposit is received by this date, then your accommodation will be released. Please note this point if you are registering shortly before the Conference, when only credit card guarantees will be possible.

Guidance on discounted late bookings

The Organisers have endeavoured to obtain the best rates possible. However, it may be possible for individuals to obtain cheaper rates if bookings are made shortly before the Conference, either via agencies on the Internet or direct to a hotel. If you decide to make your own arrangements for accommodation, your request for rates for late bookings should be directed to the hotel of your choice and will be subject to availability.

Please take care to note the Cancellation Policy for your Accommodation.
