Upcoming events and meetings of interest:
2021 HAS Scientific Meeting - Thursday 2nd - Friday 3rd September 2021
The meeting will be held at the Prince Rupert Hotel, Shrewsbury and organised by Dr Adrian Kuipers, President Elect.
The academic programme has been organised by Dr Alistair McKenzie.
Shrewsbury is an historic town best known 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 itself. 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 Hotel is an old, comfortable 4-star hotel in the middle of town and a stones throw away from "ye olde 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 located at the Belmont Bank Car Park. Just drive to the front of the Hotel, drop your luggage off and, should you wish to park at the Hotel Car Park directions will be given. The rate is £10 per night. There is also a Premier Inn within walking distance as well as a few smaller Hotels.
There is a slight change to tradition which I am sure you will enjoy. Directly after the Thursday meeting there will a short walk to Tanners wine importers for the President’s reception. You will find the tour of the old cellars fascinating and the glass of champagne should be a good one. Following this, having had time to change, the formal dinner will be held at The Prince Rupert Hotel (dress code is lounge suits).
You will be pleased to hear that a partner’s programme is being organised. Dr Nigel O'Conner, a retired Haematologist, is now a local guide and has kindly agreed to take the partners on a walking tour of old Shrewsbury. We are looking for a suitable venue for the coffee break. Except for the refreshments there is no cost involved. Should it all be a bit too strenuous, Shrewsbury is a small town and one can always get back to the Hotel easily.
