INTRODUCTION

We invite you to join us for our fifth Education and Training Seminar, to be held at the University of Chester, a modern, comfortable and extremely compact campus.

All the presentations will be projected onto large screens so that close-up work can be clearly seen. In addition to the presentations, there will be an opening night lecture, an evening of informal demonstrations, a Suppliers’ Fair and a fund-raising auction.

Pricing
Following the success in 2008 of starting the Seminar on Thursday night, our package will again start with dinner on Thursday, followed by (optional) informal events. Delegates will be able to see all of the lectures/demonstrations on the day/s they attend. Please see the Booking Form for more details.

Full Delegate:	Member GBP215.00	Non-Member GBP235.00
Day Delegate:	Member GBP80.00	Non-Member GBP100.00

Accommodation
Accommodation is in single study bedrooms. Most of these have ensuite bathrooms, but some share bathrooms between four rooms. Ensuite rooms will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis – so book early! We now have confirmation that there will be sufficient ensuite rooms for all delegates!

Delegates will not have to walk long distances on campus
as all facilities are in close proximity.

Joining instructions and a list of attending suppliers will be sent to delegates nearer the time.

 

Suppliers’ Fair
Companies offering materials, tools and other equipment for bookbinding and related crafts will be an attraction to delegates. The Fair will be held in a building next to the Conference Hall, where tea and coffee will also be served.

There are frequent fast rail links to London and other major cities in the UK, as well as regular National Express Coach services. Manchester airport is 30 miles away and Liverpool airport 25 miles.
