2012 Conference and AGM update

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.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

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

• Event photographer
• Three session moderators to introduce and thank speakers
• Two people to spell off the Sales Officer on the sales table
• Two assistants to help tally up the silent auction at the end of the AGM

Please email Victoria at "vlmoorshead [at] rogers [dot] com" if you would like to volunteer for any of these tasks.

BRING YOUR CASH!

We will have 10 copies of Dr. Arlene Okerlund’s book, Elizabeth of York, available for purchase at the Conference for $40 Cdn. No doubt, Dr. Okerlund would be 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 sale.  The NPG tell us they are no longer printing and selling this poster, so once they are gone, they’re gone!

We look forward to seeing you later this month!

AGM Registration Update

Perfect for your morning cuppa

For those who have yet to send in their registration for the AGM, we have secured 32 GREAT-branded mugs from the British Consulate, commemorating the Jubilee/Olympics/all things British campaign.

As we are hoping to have more than 32 attendees, we have decided to award the mugs to the first 32 people to register for the AGM. Those who have already sent in their registration and payment have secured a mug, but the remaining mugs will be given on a first-registered-and-paid, first-awarded basis.

We had been hoping for enough mugs for all attendees, but were only able to secure 32.
