[tei-council] Galway meeting updates?

[Laurent Romary]

Hi David,
Hotel registration is so far fully set by Malte Rehbein who booked  
rooms for all of us by default for 2 nights (Wed + Thu), knowing that  
some of us have asked him to extend (e.g. I stay overnight in Galway  
on Friday night).
I attach below the full text of the pdf we received from him.
And yes, your active presence is welcome at the symposium: that will  
warm us up before the actual council debates.
See you soon in Galway;,
Laurent





Dear all,
We are very much looking forward to both: the TEI at galway symposium  
and the hosting of
the Council meeting in early April. Please find below some brief  
information about your
stay in Galway.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything. Since I am  
on leave most of
March, use the email address teiatgalway at nuigalway.ie for any  
questions or comments.
This mailbox is accessed by my colleagues Sean Ryder and Marie  
Kennedy as well as by
myself.
See you soon in Galway!
Best wishes,
Malte

Venue
The event will be held at the National University of Ireland, Galway  
(NUIG) on the west
coast of Ireland. With its 72,000 inhabitants, Galway is one of the  
larger cities of Ireland,
located at the Galway bay in the province of Connaught. You can  
expect a vivid city with
typical Irish lifestyle but don't forget to bring your rain coat!
Within NUIG, the Moore Institute for Research in the Humanities and  
Social Studies and
especially the TEXTE programme (Transfer of Expertise in Technologies  
of Editing) will be
your host. For the symposium and your meeting, our seminar room (203)  
will be available.

Getting here
Please have a look at http://www.nuigalway.ie/about.
If you intend to use public transportation, I strongly recommend to  
buy an open return
ticket for it is much cheaper than two single tickets. Arriving via  
Dublin or Shannon, Citylink
is the best option.
Programme
● Wednesday, 2 April 2008, 9-18h: TEI at galway symposium; Agenda will be
distributed next week
● Thursday, 3 April 2008: your meeting
● On Thursday night, we would be happy to invite you for some nice  
dinner in town.
● Friday, 4 April 2008: your meeting (cont.)
Accommodation
We have made a pre-booking for all of you in the Harbour Hotel for  
the two nights from
Wednesday to Friday. Please let us know as soon as possible if you  
need accommodation
for other nights as well.
The Harbour Hotel is (surprisingly) located at the Galway harbour,  
and from there it is only
a five minutes walk into the centre and a 20 minutes walk to the  
college.
The city centre offers a lot of options for going out for a pint or  
having dinner. The
pedestrian zone around Shop Street is a good address. Many pubs have  
live music
sessions every night for free.
