- The welcome reception will take place at Robinson College starting at 19:00 on Sunday, 11 September 2016. Drinks and a selection of finger food from the Robinson kitchens will be provided. The finger food on order is substantial so we don’t believe you need to make dinner plans for that evening, unless you are very very hungry. Please note that the registration desk will be open from about 17:30 on Sunday and throughout the welcome reception, so you can collect your badge and conference materials upon your arrival.
- The walking and punting excursion is included in your registration, and will take place on Monday, 12 September 2016 starting at 17:50. The meeting point is the workshop registration desk at Robinson College. This will consist of a guided walking tour of Cambridge and a short outing on a chauffeured boat known as a “punt” on the River Cam. NO MEAL WILL BE PROVIDED. The tour will end in central Cambridge where there is a choice of good restaurants. We will provide a list of recommendations for your convenience. It is a 10 minute walk back from central Cambridge to Robinson College. A map of the town will also be included at the back of your printed programme.
- The workshop dinner will take place on Tuesday, 13 September 2016, starting at 18:30 at Trinity College. You can make your own way to Trinity College, or we will have a guided walk from Robinson College gate starting at 18:20. Note that there are two colleges in Cambridge called “Trinity Hall" and “Trinity College", and our dinner is at "Trinity College". We will start by a drinks and canapés reception in the outdoor cloisters of Neville Court during sunset, and then move to the Great Hall for a traditional college dinner starting at 19:30.
All meals during the workshop are included except lunch on Monday night, to give you the chance to sample Cambridge local dining and nightlife. Menus for all catered occasions are available here:
- Welcome Reception Sunday 19:00 at Robinson College
- Lunches Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 13:10 at Robinson College
- Dinner on Tuesday 18:30 at Trinity College.
Please contact us if you have questions about any of the dishes listed regarding allergies or intolerances. We will pass your questions on to the chefs. Alternatively, feel free to ask the staff at Robinson and Trinity colleges who are fully trained to deal with all dietary requirements.
