Registration for the Eighth Biennial Conference for Music in
Nineteenth-Century Britain is now open. Please go to the registration
page of the conference website
(
http://www.qub.ac.uk/sites/mncb2011/Registration/), read the
instructions, and click on the link at the bottom of the page. You will
then be asked to create an account for yourself. Once you've done that,
you will be given a series of options to add to your 'basket': full
conference fee or daily fee, accommodation at Queen's University Elms
Student Village for up to four nights, concert dinner, excursion. When
you've finished adding your options, proceed to 'checkout' to pay for
your choices. You may update your choices at a later date.
Please note in particular:
a) Early-bird registration
closes at 4 p.m. on Monday 16 June.
b) Online registration
closes on Monday 4 July.
c) A number of single rooms
have been block-booked for the conference in the Queen's University Elms
Student Village (about ten minutes' walk away from the main campus) for
the nights of 20, 21, 22 and 23 July. At �30 per night (including
breakfast), these rooms are a bargain for somewhere so close to the
university. They are available on a first come-first serve basis, so
early booking is advisable.
d) For anyone wishing to
stay an extra night or two, either before or after the conference, it
will be possible to stay in Elms at the conference rate. Please contact
the staff at Elms directly (email
accomm...@qub.ac.uk
, or by phone on 028 9097 4525); if you have any problems getting
through to them, please contact the conference organisers on
mncb...@qub.ac.uk.
e) As part of the
conference, there will be a tour of the north coast of Northern Ireland
on 24 July, including the 'eighth wonder of the world', the Giant's
Causeway. An itinerary for the day can be found on
http://www.qub.ac.uk/sites/mncb2011/SocialActivities/.
