Food & Drink

The registration fee covers the Welcome Reception in the Sedgwick Museum (5^th), one lunch (6^th), Poster session with refreshments (7^th) and all tea and coffees. The Banquet (8th) requires an additional payment. The remaining lunches and dinners are self-foraging at local cafes, sandwich outlets, pubs and restaurants. The organizing team and helpers will be pleased to offer suggestions.

The Banquet will be held on the evening of Friday 8^th September and we hope that this event will be a fitting end to the Conference.
