 Dear Colleagues

Preparations are now well under way for this year’s annual meeting which will be held at the Said business school in Oxford on Saturday 5th July and Sunday 6th July 2008 . We are very pleased to inform you that the rates for the conference have remained unchanged.

See below for the registration and abstract forms.  Prizes for best paper(s) and video will be awarded. This year we are also accepting for presentation cases of interest. These may be management of a challenging scenario, demonstration of a technique, an unusual case etc. If you would like to present a case in this section please send me an email (vkumar00@hotmail.com) with a paragraph (250 words) summarizing the case. The submission deadline for abstracts is 23rd May 2008 .

The conference registration forms and BSRS website also provide details of this year’s conference dinner which is to be held on the evening of Saturday 5th July. For members who register for both days of the conference, dinner is included without further charge. Please see registration form for further details.

Finding accommodation in Oxford for the conference will be more of a challenge this year because of clashing events. The organizing committee have therefore reserved rooms for both Friday 4th July and Saturday 5th July at St Anne’s College. These rooms can be booked at the time of registration (see  below for rates). Please note that room numbers are limited and will be allocated strictly on first come basis.

 Kind regards and best wishes

BSRS Hon Secretary

There are 12 CPD points for the congress (6 points per day)

 

 

 

Accommodation is very expensive this weekend in Oxford because of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. (price for a £150 hotel is £300).  We have hence reserved 50 rooms at St Anne's College.   Room rates are £65 single and £110 double/twin inclusive of VAT and full English breakfast. Booking is via Freshwater ( Freshwater PR and Marketing, The Water’s Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham, B1 2HL Tel. 0121 633 7775 Fax. 0121 633  7771 Email to Anna Jamson at  ajamson@freshwater-uk.com or  fill in this form

 

Said Business School have also sent us a list of 30 hotels within varying distances although these will again tend to be busy because of the Formula 1 race.

Said Business School is right opposite Oxford Railway station. Car parking is difficult in Oxford. Details here
