REGISTRATION

The cost of registration for the meeting will be £20 which will include lunch and the coach to take you to ECFG9 registration at 5 pm after the meeting.

 

GETTING THERE

The meeting will be held in the Daniel Rutherford Building at the King’s Buildings (KB) site of the University of Edinburgh. The easiest way of getting to it is to take a taxi to KB and ask to be dropped off at Gate 4 on Mayfield Road.
