Wow, well, it may be tight since I might be on a "business trip" to Vilseck, Germany until the 16th, but I'll do my best to fly in on Friday night. I think we should stay a couple of days longer to see the sights (BM, London Museum) and visit some of the UCL/IA faculty to scout for JAMS advisory board members.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Well, I'm kinda not looking forward to staying much longer in London until prices/Euro-Pound rate goes down. It's bloody expensive and I've got more things to spend my money on! <p>Greets<BR>

So who's coming? We might as well try and plan/book early. Might save us some money here! <p>Greets<BR>

I can contact the Ruskin Hotel, which is right across the street from the British Museum (stayed there before, decent little place, fairly affordable as London accomodations go) and get us a block of rooms (3? 4?) for May.<br>
<br>
I can do as I did last time and take a flight from Frankfurt to Stanstead, then ride the Stanstead Express into London. A bit time consuming but considerably cheaper than Heathrow.<br>

Hmmm, I'll first have a look at a travel package train/hotel. I don't mind being slightly out of city-center and pay a bit less than Gpb 47/night. <p>Greets<BR>

How right you are, Jasper!<br>
Maybe Luca wants to come again with his motorcaravan? E EM<br>

I would like to come with you, but I have already planned a one-week trip in Albania to visit people there (sometimes I act also as missionary).<br>
Of course I will take a look for roman ruins or something like that, do you have an idea about some remainings in the north of Albania near to Kosovo? <p></p><i></i>
I'll have to check with work, but if I can get the friday off I'll be up for that<br>
<br>
[unless a very particular show is on the same weekend!] <p></p><i></i>
I will be going to this [not sure about the friday though]<br>
<br>
if I can get an answer from the uni....I reckon must be half term or something <p></p><i></i>
I should be able to make this after all, after some doubts. Although I will be arriving very late that night. Probably to stay in the Arran Hotel on Gower Street in Bloomsbury. Only 45 pounds a night.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

sent my cheque off a couple of weeks ago..........no reply yet <p></p><i></i>
Well, I registered in November or December and haven't heard from them. As it's only a small conference (and it's historians & classicists organising) there may not be an extensive postal exchange! <p>Greets<BR>
<BR>
Jasper</p><i></i>
I am presuming I can register upon arrival.<br>
<br>
Where is everyone else staying? And where shall we link up on Saturday morning?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

The Dutch group is staying at the Regent Palace, which is not so classy as it sounds, near Picadilly. <p>Greets<BR>
