- Charles Carter<\/strong><\/a>: This building is opposite George Fox and provides some of the extra rooms that the conference needs. In particular, some of the presentations will take place in Charles Carter A15<\/a>, on the ground floor. There is also a seating area on the ground floor, which conference attendees may wish to use.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
- Barker House Farm<\/strong><\/a>: For attendees who have selected to have hot buffets on the evenings of Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th July, we will be eating here. <\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
- Lancaster House Hotel<\/strong><\/a>: If you have registered for the conference dinner on Wednesday 5th July, this will be held at Lancaster House.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
