Cheltenham
The convention is occurring in buildings in central Cheltenham, England. Cheltenham is a town in the south west of England, with good road, rail and bus links.
Airports [Edit]
Closest airports are Bristol or Birmingham, with Heathrow a good third choice. Britain has reasonable public transport if booked well in advance. For those coming from the North of England or Scotland or Ireland a flight to Bristol or Cardiff may well be MUCH cheaper than a train.
Climate [Edit]
Cheltenham in August is typically warm, but prepare for wet weather – a rain mac is probably essential. Sad but true, and I note this for our international visitors.
Festivals [Edit]
Cheltenham is perhaps best known for its many Festivals, none of which fortunately clash with our event. Check out the website at http://www.cheltenhamfestivals.co.uk/
