• We hope that most delegates will stay on site in college rooms. These are student rooms, so quite spartan, but do have en suite facilities and are cheap. A bunch have been prebooked from the night of Weds 5th to the night of Fri 7th. Once you have registered (above), there is no need to contact the college to arrange your accommodation.
• If you would prefer to stay in a nearby hotel (in the centre of Cambridge), you will have to arrange this yourself. Some good starting points are:

• Note that there are only 8 car-parking spaces at Clare College itself (in "Memorial Court"); first-come, first-served (email mdrs2007@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk). Curbside parking is available nearby (e.g, Grange road) though generally not easy to find in Cambridge.
