University of Wales, Bangor - School of Informatics 19th British Combinatorial Conference Registration Information

LATEST - 01/05/03
Due the deluge of bookings and abstracts arriving during the past two weeks,
and the fact that a few users have found the booking form crashing before completion,
the deadline after which the registration fee increases has been moved to Friday 16th May.
(The booking form has been adjusted to reflect this change.)
Abstracts will continue to be accepted up to the end of May.
If I have not answered your email, it is because I am processing them on a "last in, first out" basis, and they keep coming in!
(Chris Wensley)

The booking form, prepared by the Conference Office web page designer, is now available.

Here are some notes on filling in the form.

• Fill in your personal details on the first page and read the Terms & Conditions before selecting YES in the final box.

• Page 2 offers two payment methods: by credit card (online) and by invoice.
  It is intended that almost all delegates will be able to use the online method.

• Page 4 asks you to specify whether you require
  either a: full conference plus accommodation package,
  or whether your requirements are more flexible: non-residential or day delegate.
  (You can always go back a page and change your mind later.)

  Package 1: Arriving Sunday, 5 nights B & B, lunches, dinners & conference dinner;
  Package 2: Arriving Monday, 4 nights B & B, lunches, dinners & conference dinner.

  If the latter, page 5 gives a table with boxes to click for days present; meals required; social events and additional nights.

• The final pages ask for your credit card details or invoice address.

• Complete a separate booking form for your companion.

• On page 1, you will be required to enter a name and institution for the badge, even if this is irrelevant.

  state that you are a companion, and who it is that you are accompanying.

If anything is unclear please send me an email: bcc2003@informatics.bangor.ac.uk

If you require a formal invitation, please ask.
However, because there have been a number of spurious requests, the committee are considering a policy of requiring a reference with any such request. It has not yet been decided who would be acceptable as a referee, but UK combinatorialists and others known personally to a committee member would certainly be included.
