Programme of Events

Meet at Jurys Inn, Plymouth at 7.00pm for drinks and discussion in the bar.

Saturday

The main conference will be held in the Robbins Conference Centre at the University of Plymouth.  Doors open at 9.00am and we close at 6.00pm.  

This year lunch will be available in the conference centre at a reasonable cost. Please note that lunch is NOT included in the price of the conference ticket.

The bar is again open at the Jurys Inn from 7.00pm. At 8.00pm for 8.30pm you can join us for dinner at a local restaurant.

Sunday

A visit to Mount Batten Tower. Mount Batten Tower is a scheduled ancient monument. It was built in 1652 at the start of the Anglo-Dutch war, across the harbour from what is now the citadel. It's a 10 metre high gun tower and, with room for ten gun emplacements on its roof, was built to guard the southern approach to Plymouth harbour. During the second world war it was armed with two quick firing guns.

Today it's under the control of Plymouth Council and is occasionally opened to the public and we are delighted that they have agreed to open it especially for us. There will also be a guided walk around Mountbatten peninsula.
