BOOKING ACCOMMODATION
You are responsible for your own
hotel arrangements unless you are coming
with the Tour Party. (In that case the tour
will book your Bath accommodation at
the Francis Hotel, but you will register
and check out individually.) If you are
not coming on the Tour Party, you must
make your reservation individually at one
of several hotels which are holding rooms
for delegates. You will receive a list by return
when you register, or in the forthcoming
registration pack.
Excellent rates are available in a wide
range of hotels and guest houses. Since
the Conference Centre is the Guildhall,
delegates have the opportunity of staying
in accommodation of their choice. Hotel
prices range from £208 (US$353) for a
double room at the handsome Bath Spa,
to £54 (US$93) at the conveniently
placed Parade Park. Costs at the Stakis,
alongside the River Avon, are in the region
of £115 (US$195). Guest houses,
inns and farmhouse prices start from £28
(US$47) for a double room and run to a
typical average price of £46 (US$78). Accommodation
in Bath is at a premium in
