conference is based at a field study centre which has been built around a
delightful Queen Anne country house, next to the river Severn and set in 12
hectares of grassland and woodland. There will be
facilities for posters, club stands and trade stands. The main
conference programme of talks will run on the Saturday and Sunday, with a
series of surface and underground trips from Friday lunchtime until at least
the Wednesday of the following week, for those wishing to extend their stay. It is hoped to re-run some of the field
trips during the week to allow attendance at talks without missing
underground trips. ACCOMMODATION There
is on-site accommodation for 120 persons and also camping facilities. Space will be available for those staying
on during the following week. The
rooms are in various configurations from twin to small dormitories. MEALS There
is a dining room on site that can provide breakfast and lunch if
required. A simple meal will be
available on Friday night, a conference dinner will be held on the Saturday
evening and a special event on the Sunday evening is to be hosted by the
Shropshire Caving & Mining Club in celebration of its 50th
anniversary. There is a bar that will
be open at lunchtime and in the evenings. LOCAL
