If you would like to attend the meeting please complete and return the form below electronically and send the requisite payment by Friday 24th February. While it may well be possible to register after this date – and it will certainly be worth asking - I cannot offer any guarantees. That aside, if the meeting is over-subscribed priority will be given to those who register first. So if you want to come it is a good idea to register immediately. 

The registration fee covers full bed and board from afternoon tea on Friday to morning coffee on Sunday. Anyone who feels that, for some reason, they might be a special case - for example, who does not fall straightforwardly into one of these categories, or for some other reason has no prospect of institutional funding – should write to me explaining their situation. We have some limited funding that may be used to help individuals.

Please note that I am unable to register anyone until I have received payment. Note also that if you have to cancel I will only be able to refund your payment if I am able to fill your place.

If you have any questions, about travel or anything else, please contact me. If you are coming by train the station is Newtown (Powys). (I will try to coordinate transport from the station.)

If you know of people who you think might like to attend please feel free to forward this notice to them. You might also let me have their e-mail addresses, so that I can add them to future mailings.

With best wishes,
