The BSS annual conference will, as previously announced, be held at Nottingham University on the weekend after Easter: April 10-12. The venue is actually a plush conference centre on the campus, so everything is within two adjacent buildings and, unlike last year, there is plenty of parking space!
Nottingham is the home of the Society’s library, a meridian line and several unusual sundials which we aim to show you. The conference runs from Friday afternoon to Sunday after lunch. The residential conference fee includes all meals and refreshments, including the traditional Gala Dinner on Saturday, so is excellent value.
Most urgently, will anyone who wishes to give a talk please let me know by emailing Chris Lusby Taylor. As always, we invite members to bring dials and related objects to exhibit. A new ‘tradition’ started last year: to bring a sundial-related cake. Please use your imagination, design and bake a cake and bring it for judging and eating.
Bookings need to be received as soon as possible, please. A booking form will be distributed with the March Bulletin but it is also available here. Payment can be made by cheque or funds transfer.
