Booking and Accommodation

We regret that, with the loss of our core SEEDA funding, we can no longer offer our Networking Dinners free of charge and have had to set a ticket price of £30 to cover the costs of the event.

Please go to: http://2011bbq.eventbrite.com/ to book your place at this event.  

Payment can be made on line by credit card.

As in previous years, we are able to offer guests B&B accommodation in the officers' mess at a very economical rate.  However, places are limited, so early booking is advised.  We can also provide details of other local accommodation, as required.

Please contact Paul Osborne if you would like to request B&B accommodation in the mess. This will be confirmed on a first-come-first-served basis and must be paid for on the evening of arrival.
