More Information
There has been a lot of effort to make this year's event both accessible and affordable. Last year's event in Weston-super-Mare was very well supported and much enjoyed, though a long journey for some. For this year a venue was sought in London, which might make it easier for some people to reach. (Perhaps in the future locations in other parts of the country might be considered.) It has to be remembered that prices in London for hotels, meals etc are generally higher than in Weston-super-Mare.
It was important to find a venue that is easy to reach by car, coach, rail or air. The Victoria area of London is ideal for this. However, for a while it seemed almost impossible to find anywhere that cost less than around £1,000 to hire for the day, which would have increased the price per person by may £20. However, The Rising Sun has come to the rescue - a very nice and welcoming pub just walking distance from Victoria Railway, Underground and Coach Stations, and with a multi-storey car park nearby.
Things you need to know
Suggestions about travel to the venue, hotels etc will be given here very soon and will also be sent to everyone who makes a booking.
Last year, because of the number of people wishing to book, it was necessary to have a waiting list (luckily in the end nobody was left out).
This year priority will be given to people who did not attend last year's event - though of course it is hoped that there will be enough room for everyone who wants to come.
If necessary there will be a waiting list in case of cancellations.
The programme will be similar to last year.
Extending Your Stay
You might wish to stay for a day or two longer in London - maybe just for sight-seeing, but also perhaps to visit the National Archive or the Imperial War Museum to look at their Prisoner-of-War records and resources. (The National Archive is closed on Sundays and Mondays, The Imperial War Museum is open every day.) Information about how to get to these places and how to use them will appear hear in due course.
How to Pay
The total price for this event is £35 per person (this includes £15 for lunch).
A £10 per person deposit is payable at the time of booking.
(This is returnable if you need to cancel)
