We have tried to keep our costs strictly under control – whilst maintaining high standards in hospitality, accommodation, and venues. We hope you will agree.

We will keep a central list of all tickets sold and catering and accommodation booked – and will be in touch nearer the time with planning and logistics information – thank you.
