Had an interesting time trying to book tickets on the EFDSS site. THink maybe it's a case of contact Steve Roud directly.

I did manage to book via the EFDSS website, earlier this evening (Saturday). So it's possible, albeit time-consuming thanks to a series of pages that took an age to load when I tried to pay.

Looks like a most interesting day. I heard Lucie Skeaping's talk a couple of years ago, in York.

I'll email Steve and ask if we can set up a simpler (swifter) booking method.

I guess the post before mine was some kind of spamish intervention? I will be happy to see my response removed - especially since it makes no sense now the spamish thing has gone

Intriguing? What sort of Spam?

---------- Nothing very interesting, I'm afraid. Some threads attract persistent spam (several posts every day) - for no very obvious reason. JoeClone----------

Joe, I appreciate your quandry. But this is an important thread on an important subject. Wouldn't it be better to just keep deleting the spam, as you did with the two which followed Les in Chorlton's posting above?

------------ Agreed, Fred. We'll try to keep it clear until the event occurs. JoeClone-------------------

Thinking about it, that would be the 30th anniversary of the PERFORM conference there...

Ah yes, the Perform conference! Looks like a very good day out - pity it's in London - pity it's our club guest night.

Extra event.
Following the daytime presentations some of the presenters have agreed to stay behind till 9 pm to take part in an open discussion on the day's presentations and exchange information on current research.

Both Steve Roud and myself will have book stalls with some relevant second hand books for sale.

A great event. So many really fascinating talks, but my personal highlights of the day were the extremely rude original version of Lavender's Blue, and the utterly glorious The Lass with the Velvet Arse. There was a fair bit of highly entertaining filth, it must be said.

---------- Thread closed due to persistent spamming. Maybe start a new one, now the conference is over?--------------------
