York is a popular tourist location at any time of year, and we encourage you to stay a little longer to take in the sights of the city and the surrounding countryside. York has a famous Viking and Roman past, which can be experienced both through the architecture of the walled city and though many museums and exhibits. Come here, and you'll come away dripping with heritage. Staff here wear blinkers at work to avoid dangerous history-overload. I think it would be highly appropriate for everyone to stay for a holiday.

We plan to outline some attractions over the next few days.

Booking

A block of 20 rooms has been reserved for the meeting for those who book before the cutoff date of December 19th, 1997. The hotel is unable to hold unbooked rooms after this date, although bookings may still be possible subject to availability. A smaller block of rooms has been reserved for the nights of January 10th, 11th and 12th for those people wishing to stay a week, to benefit from lower air fares.

Please note that the Grange is a small hotel and those who book early may get the best rooms. If you are bringing a partner or have any special requirements you should book early. Late bookers may not get the conference rate and may have to be accomodated in other hotels.

Make your bookings with the hotel directly, stating that you are attending the SilCom conference to obtain the conference rates.

If you have problems with your bookings, please contact Sheila Culpin for assistance.

Confirmation

In addition to booking with the hotel, please let Sheila Culpin know that you will be attending. Please state for which days you are booked into the Hotel, and which meeting days you are attending. Remember, Tuesday is for 802.1Q work, Wednesday through Friday are for HSTR StrawMan work. Day delegates should contact Sheila with the same information, by December 19th if possible. These numbers are needed to calculate room size, lunch requirements etc.
