Schedule for the day
The meeting will begin at 10.30, we’ll aim to break for lunch at 12.15 for an hour and then again for a break with drinks mid-afternoon, finishing the talks and formal part of the meeting around 5pm. Please introduce yourself at the start of the day as soon as possible and we’ll load up you talk onto our laptop or check we’ve the right cables to link your personal machine up.
For those who are able, after the meeting we’ll walk up to the Britannia Inn (top of Lime walk where it meets London Road). See Lime walk top right of map. http://www.emberinns.co.uk/nationalsearch/southeast/the-britannia-inn-headington From here there are multiple buses that will take you back into Oxford city centre or out to the park and ride at Thornhill.
