We have booked and paid for 40 rooms in this hotel for the Friday night for people with more than 2 hours travelling time.  We also have 80 hotel rooms booked and paid for the Saturday night, open to members regardless of length of travel. 

Please note, due to budgetary restrictions the rooms are single occupancy so if you want to bring your partner this accomodation will not be suitable.  There will be no dinner provided on the Friday or Saturday nights but a buffet lunch will be provided Saturday and breakfast is provided with the rooms.

You should also have been advised that we have been able to reduce the cost for members who are paying their own fees from £120 per person to £60 - this is due to some Trusts funding the full cost of the places for some of their staff.
