Guidance Notes
The National Meeting will run from the morning of Tuesday 6th to the afternoon of Thursday 8th
September 2016. Everyone attending this meeting in whatever capacity must complete a booking
form. The booking form must be accompanied by full payment, no accommodation or meals will be
reserved without it. If your institution is issuing a cheque for payment do not rely on your finance
office to forward your booking form to the RES. On many occasions finance officers have failed to
send us forms, which results in obvious problems. When the RES receives your booking form it
will be processed and a letter of confirmation plus joining instructions will be sent to you as soon
as possible. You should keep a copy of the completed form for your records.
SEND YOUR BOOKING FORM BY ONE METHOD ONLY. Check your booking confirmation
carefully to ensure that all the meals and accommodation that you require have been booked.
PARKING
Free parking is available for delegates on campus.
STUDENT SUPPORT
Financial support is being made available by the RES for students wishing to attend the meeting.
At its maximum this will not exceed 50% of costs. Preference will be given to Members.
Please note that there are limited funds available for this grant. Early application is strongly
recommended. Applications must be made by letter or email (bill@royensoc.co.uk) to the
Registrar at the RES office and the deadline for receipt is 1st May 2016.
