Upcoming events and meetings of interest:
HAS Summer Meeting 2020
Shrewsbury is an historic town best know as Charles Darwin's birthplace , the battle of Shrewsbury and despite the carnage caused by the developers and planners in the sixties and seventies it still has over 800 listed buildings.
Getting to Shrewsbury is easy. The train is by far the best way if arriving from the east side of the UK . There are two direct trains a day from Euston otherwise change at Birmingham International. Finding the cheapest train ticket is an art form in it's self. Try and travel off- peak if at all possible. For those of you flying to the UK, I recommend Birmingham airport with Manchester coming a close second.
The meeting will be held in the The Price Rupert Hotel - a comfortable 4 star hotel in the middle of town and a stones throw away from "ye oldie pubs and inns". The conference will also be held there. It is all rather quaint and there is a small lift to take you to the conference room. Parking is around the corner, just leave your car at the front door and the car will be parked for you. The rate is £10 per night.
The Prince Rupert Hotel has agreed to following Conference rates:
Single room - Thursday 25th June 2020 & Friday 26th June 2020 - £95.00 per room per night including breakfast
Double for single occupancy room - Thursday 25th June & Friday 26th June 2020 - £135.00 per room per night including breakfast
Double/twin room for double occupancy - Thursday 25th June & Friday 26th June 2020 - £155.00 per room per night including breakfast
This hotel has also been booked for our Grand Dinner on Friday evening, the dress code is lounge suits.
There is also a brand new Premier Inn within walking distance as well as a few smaller Hotels.
A partners programme is being organised. Dr Nigel O'Connor who is a Shrewsbury Guide has agreed to take a group for a walk around the old Shrewsbury.
Some of you will be staying for the full two nights, some more and some fewer. Just to mention: The Shrewsbury food festival starts on the 27th for two days. This is an extremely popular event. Hotel rooms will be at a premium for those two nights. There are very many permutations so please book directly with the hotel and mention the HAS.
Please do not try to book via the net for a bargain, as the rates you will be quoted on the net will not cover the true cost of the meeting. The hotel is reserving 60 rooms for the Society until 6 weeks before the event.
