Lots of information
to pass along…
CONFERENCE
REGISTRATION
There is still time
to register for the Joint Canada-US Richard III Society Conference and AGM
being held in Oakville, Ontario the weekend of September 28-30. Owing to the catering requirements however, we will not be accepting conference
registrations after TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. You may
scan and email your completed registration form to
"tbryce [at] cogeco [dot] ca" or fax it to 905-634-7857.
HOTEL RESERVATIONS
Unfortunately,
the unsold rooms of our reserved block returned to inventory on August 31,
but if you state you are with the Richard III Society, and ask to speak to
Becky (Rebecca) Van Clieaf, the Sales and Catering Manager, you should be able
to get the conference room rate of $109 Cdn. per night. You must call Becky
directly at 905-829-7980.
TRANSPORTATION FROM PEARSON AIRPORT
If
you are flying in to Pearson (Toronto) airport, and have not made your own
arrangements to get from the airport to the hotel, please contact me immediately
at "tbryce [at] cogeco [dot] ca" so we can try to
accommodate you.

We
are in need of willing hands for the following tasks:

BRING YOUR CASH!
We will have 10

happy to sign a copy for you.
We shall also have a
few copies of the National Portrait Gallery’s poster of Richard III for

poster, so once they are gone, they’re gone!
We look forward to
seeing you later this month!
