Yes, the final dates are the 1-3rd of July, optionally arriving on the 
preceding weekend.  If anyone is planning on attending and is not already on my 
list, please let me know which dates you will need accommodation for.  We have 
a set of college rooms available for £56+VAT/night each (£66/night if you want 
to fit two people in them).
