If your application to attend has been accepted, you will have received email confirmation. You can download the programme here.

There are a few things we need to remind you to ensure that the seminar runs smoothly:

In keeping with the environmental concerns that have influenced our themes for the seminar we will not be providing disposal crockery and cutlery. We need you to please bring your own plate, cup (for tea and coffee as well as for juice), bowl, knife, fork and dishtowel if possible. It may also be helpful to put these into a portable bag, to be kept with you during the seminar.

More important details after the jump.
