Brilliant.

 

It'd be great to catch up with you, Russell. I assume you'll be on the Impero stand?

Travel and hotels

 

The venue is easy to get to and you can get the location and directions from this site here:

http://www.uclan.ac.uk/information/services/fm/services/conferences/travel.php

 

And for those of you using sat-nav you can use this address to find your way:

 

Westleigh Conference Centre

Lea Road

PR4 0RB Preston

 

From an earlier post by Dos_Box:

 

It's a 5 mile walk from the station to the hotel. A bus journey (number 22,23 from outside the Dog and Partridge on Friargate) is 10 mins and costs £1.40 to Black Bull lights, and a 4 min walk from there.

The Dog and Partridge is a few mins walk from the train station.
