If you want to come along to the day (but you're not in the poster contest), now is the time to register. The day is free, but we are not able to refund travel for general attendees.

We have had a record-breaking number of student submissions this year, with 116 poster contest entrants, so it's going to be a great event. 

Aberystwyth is some way from the rest of the world, so we are making a bigger event of it. There will also be some kind of activity the night before 11th April. Aberystwyth is a nice town to visit in Spring, and there are several hotels on the promenade (we like the Belle Vue, and also the Glengower which is more of a pub with rooms). 

Yours,
Hannah
