the meetings on Thursday and Friday take place at Rewley House,
Wellington Square, Oxford. The formal meeting starts at 1pm on 15th, but
we have the room all day, so if any groups 
want to meet beforhand that could be arranged.

We'll meet all day Friday at Rewley House. If we want to continue on
Saturday, we will do so at Ingenta or OUCS (to be decided).

Social matters: 

 * accomodation is at Rewley House.
 * lunch is at Rewley House Thursday and Friday 
 * dinner Thursday will be in a local conventional restaurant near here
 * on Friday evening, there will be an informal walking expedition to
the river (assuming it is not raining) to either walk in the meadows or
punt, followed by dinner at one of the more variegated restaurants in
the area (ranging from Fish to Jamaican to Polish to Indian)
 * network connections: details to be determined. no, Oxford is not
wirelessed :-}

At the end of next week I'll send out the more formal
set of instructions about how to get to Oxford, what
vaccinations you need, how to talk to the locals, why you mustn't ask
"where is the university", why beer is warm, etc. 

The short answer is "fly to Heathrow, get a bus to Oxford, walk 200
metres to Rewley House, don't drink the beer"
