Other events
There will be space for displaying posters, and it may be possible to
arrange contributed talks if there is sufficient demand.
There will be a conference dinner on Saturday evening,
and there will be an expedition to the Peak District for a gentle walk
and pub supper on Friday evening.
Participants may also like to know that Peter May will be giving a Hardy
Lecture to the title `Equivariant topology and non-equivariant applications'
on Monday to the Sheffield department; this is not part of the conference, but
you are welcome to come.
Venue
Lectures will take place in Rooms 3 and 4 on the second floor of the Hicks Building, Hounsfield Road, Sheffield, UK.
Registration
There will be a registration fee of 40 GBP. This is one of the
conditions of the LMS grant, and will be used for conference expenses.
Travel
The most convenient airport is Manchester airport; there
is a good rail link to Sheffield from the terminal building.
From the rail station you can catch the supertram to the University stop.
Or take the number 60 bus, and get off where it crosses the ring road.

Accommodation
I have booked blocks of single rooms
for the nights of 30th and 31st May at three local hotels.
Please CONTACT ME DIRECTLY, by 31st March, if you want to take advantage of
this, and benefit from the conference rates.

they ask me to do otherwise.
