Updated: The Society of Ancients Conference 2018

[Richard Lockwood]

When: Weekend of 24th/25th November
Where: Chesford Grange Hotel, Kenilworth, near Warwick, CV8 2LD

Cost:£189 for two days, including Saturday night accommodation and dinner


The Society of Ancients Conference 2018 will take place over the weekend of 24th/25th November, at the same venue as the 2016 and 2017 Conferences, the Chesford Grange Hotel, Kenilworth, Warwickshire.

Those who attended in the last two years will know that we like everyone to get involved! We also need volunteers to run a session. Sessions can either be a presentation to the Conference on a subject, which with a subsequent discussion will last around an hour, or else can be running games, rules workshops, or anything else you may choose to come up with! Please send your ideas to Richard Lockwood at soaconference@soa.org.uk

The cost for the weekend has been held at the same price as 2017, and is £189. This includes the two full days at the Conference, buffet lunch both days, the Conference Dinner on the Saturday evening, bed and breakfast Saturday night, and teas and coffees, biscuits and cakes etc throughout the days.

Single day attendance (without the B&B and Saturday Dinner), including the lunch, is available for around £45 per day (also held at last year's cost).

For those arriving on the Friday evening we have negotiated a Conference bed and breakfast rate, which should also be booked in advance though us. This also remains held at last year's cost, at £105.

Because the Society is required to pay the venue in advance for the Conference we will require full payment four weeks before the Conference. However, in order to reserve your place we will initially be taking deposits, either by the Society website PayPal route or by cheques made out to the Society of Ancients and sent to the Treasurer. These deposits are non-returnable unless we are able to find someone else to attend in your place. The deposit cost is £45 (as it was last year).

Please watch this Forum and/or the Society website in the next month for further details of how to book.

Who's offering a return airfare? C'mon...

Due to venue no longer being available, I have had to change the date. Still awaiting full confirmation, but likely to be the weekend 6th/7th October.

The traditional approach to obtaining travel from your part of the world to other parts seems to be sponsorship. 

• Combine attendance at the Conference with a book-signing tour?
  
• Wear a SAL T-shirt the whole weekend?

You might want to max out on the furry bits.  It's currently so cold the sea is freezing in several places around the Sceptered Isle and as for the monkeys....

You never know I might make it this year

... they are brazening it out, naturally.

Some one needs to update the details on the Home page please.

Looks like I have a pass for that weekend

[Richard Lockwood]

Sorry, 6th and 7th weekend is not looking possible. I am speaking to the venue for alternative dates.

Is there a rough agenda for each of the two days yet?
If Kenilworth is somewhere between Barcelona and Boston, I might drop in.
