Updates:
Greetings once again!
Just another couple of quick notes: first of all, a few of you have asked about parking. It looks like we're not going to be able to use the parking lots at Main Building; there is metred parking on Park Place and at City Hall, but it is limited. We strongly advise you to use the bus, or to use one of the several NCP multistoreys in centre (mind the Weevils).
Secondly: for those of you who have registered but have not paid, please do so asap. If you intend to pay on the day, we are ONLY taking cash or cheques, not credit or debit cards.
I think that's all for now; more as it happens. :) I look forward to seeing you all next week! :)
Cheers,
