Hi David
 

I don't understand with the amount of hotels in Manchester I cant see how they have run out very strange There are no concerts or other events being held in the city that warrants the amount of hotels that the city has, also I have e-mailed you several times regarding some enquiries I have but as yet you have not responded please could you do so thank you

Mother's Day is obviously a biggger 'draw' than Palm Sunday Smile


Look on the bright side:


  • We have 2 extra weeks to decide to go.

  • The organisers have two extra weeks to arrange some topics and speakers to tempt us to go.

  • The organisers have two extra weeks to confirm the exhibitors and tempt us to go.

  • The organisers have time to move the Networking evening to coincide with the rest of the conference.

my views as I live in the city and have been a resident for over ten years and the amount of hotels sprouting up and the university also has a hotel so there you go.

That does not mean there is an issue with hotel accommodation that you may not be aware of!
 

Can I just say, I know coz I`ve helped at one, perhaps members would like to accept Dave puts in shed loads of work behind the scenes and it is chaos to make stuff go right for the several hundred of candidates who attend.

 

Seriously, having done, it, all respect due to Dave and Rouji for all their hard work!

The three closest hotels; two Ibis + the one on the UMIST site were fully or near to being fully booked. (UMIST - fully booked).  I feel that as networking is an important part of the event, it is important that accommodation should be readily available within easily walking distance. If you know of other hotels or B&B close by, please let me know so I can post them on the Conference website.


Thanks


Dave

We have got a great new speaker at the conference to cover chemical burns. There has been a lot of progress in this area and some highly effective new products/treatments.

Cheers Dave
You just don't know what grief the changed date has caused!

Understand why you did it though. Hope to arrive early evening Friday, but must leave Sat night as David and I have a 12-hr shift on Sunday!
