Registration and Details:
The conference is being held at the John Rylands Library, Deansgate. Cost of Registration for the conference is £10 (or £5 for students/unwaged). If paying by cheque, please make cheques payable to the University of Manchester. Payment can be made on the day, providing attendance has been notified in advance.
Unfortunately, the café at the Rylands is undergoing refurbishment; however, we can still use the café space for tea and coffee and for lunch. There are a number of cafés, coffee shops and other eateries nearby and we have allowed time in the schedule for trips to these. For those who are interested, we are proposing to go for dinner at a local restaurant after the conference. If you wish to attend this, could you let us know by the 28th March, along with your preference (if any) for type of food.
Price: £10
