Subject: Re: [tei-council] next Council meeting


I promised to provide a similar list of hotels for Oxford.  
Sorry for the delay in doing so, I'm currently in Uppsala 
Sweden where I've just taught two full days of a Digital 
Literature course (with me talking about XPath, XQuery, 
XSLT, the CURSUS project as a case study, and a heavily 
plagiarised presentation on "Whither TEI").

The benefits of hosting the council meeting in Oxford is 
that Lou, Sebastian and I wouldn't have to travel anywhere.
(Though, to be honest, I like going to strange new places...)

As with everywhere else, the prices for hotels
variehttp://www.oxfordcity.co.uk/index.htmls widely, 
as I'm sure does the quality of service.  All prices are 
in British Pounds and for a range from the most modest 
single they provide to an ensuite double.  I've taken the 
prices from their websites and not confirmed them.  All 
are within walking distance of OUCS (especially the historic 
and prestigious Old Parsonage which is immediately next door). 
Never having stayed at any of them I know nothing of their 
general quality.  (Perhaps the other Oxford residents may 
have some opinions on them.)

Other attractions of Oxford include the University 
buildings themselves, numerous museums, pubs, and restaurants.

Oxford is 70 mins (by coach) from Heathrow airport and about 
an hour on the train from London Paddington railway station.
