Hi all,
After a series of emails to and from the ROSL I have clarified the price structure, and worked out that there is no difference between pricing the things we want and adding them together, and just accepting their "delegate rate" per person, so that is what we will do.
The bad news is that it has gone up since we last did this. It will be £30 per person. For that we do get a great deal (and at a very competitive price for an all-day event) We get:-
Coffee and cake in the morning
Two course sit-down lunch
Coffee and cake in the afternoon
Water and cordials on the tables
Use of a room to ourselves from 10am to 5pm
Hire of a projector and screen (I am now looking for a free speaker for a short talk on an interesting subject. Suggestions welcomed)
Wine at lunch will be up to individuals to order and pay for, and there is a bar just along the corridor, where anyone wanting something stronger than water or cordials throughout the day can buy drinks.
There will be choice of two options for each course at lunch, including a vegetarian or fish one. If you have any other dietary requirements, let me know.
For anyone who doesn't know the ROSL, here is a link to their website www.rosl-edinburgh.org/. They are at 100 Princes Street, between Boots and Frederick Street. We will be in the Robert Louis Stevenson Room. There is a lift, but there are a few steps down to it (it is quite an old building.) There are bedrooms, if anyone is looking for accommodation very much at hand.
The final numbers don't need to be in until nearer the time, so extra people can be added later, but it would be useful to have approximate minimum numbers as soon as everyone can confirm them.
I am looking forward to this - meeting old friends and making others.
