Demonstrations

There will be provision for demonstrations of software in the Functional
Programming Research Laboratory which is near the Conference lecture
room.  The laboratory is equipped with MicroVaxes running under Unix
and VMS and SUN 3/60s running under Unix.  People wishing to demonstrate
software should contact the Local Arrangements Chairman.


LOCAL ARRANGEMENTS

Conference Location

The Conference will be held at Imperial College of Science, Technology and
Medicine in London.  Imperial College is situated in South Kensington and is a
short distance from the shopping and entertainment areas in the West End and
Knightsbridge.	Hyde Park, Kensington Palace Gardens, the Albert Hall and some
of the major London museums (the Victoria and Albert, Natural History,
Geological and Science Museums) are all just a short walk from the campus.
South Kensington underground station is on the Picadilly line, which runs
direct to Heathrow Airport.  Full details of how to get to the college will be
sent to you together with the confirmation of your registration.

North American participants should monitor the Usenet newsgroup
comp.lang.sigplan for developments regarding (pending) block travel
arrangements to this meeting.

ACCOMMODATION

College Accommodation

We have reserved 80 rooms in College which will be allocated on a ``first come
first served'' basis.  The rooms are single study bedrooms.  Each room has a
wash basin, desk, reading light and a wardrobe.	 Most rooms have a shaving
point (240v).  The rooms are situated in Prince's Gardens, a quiet attractive
square only a minute's walk away from the College campus.  Rooms will cost
14.50 pounds per night for bed and breakfast.

Hotel Accommodation

We have appointed Expotel as the official agents for the conference.  They
have arranged for a range of accommodation in local hotels all of which are
within a short distance of the College campus.	The average price for a single
room with bath is 65 pounds per night (inclusive of taxes and service charge),
although we can offer a small number of rooms in the 30 to 50 pounds per night
price range.

Accommodation Charges

Accommodation is not included in the conference fee and delegates will be
responsible for the payment of their bills.

SOCIAL PROGRAMME

Reception

There will be a reception at the College on Sunday 10th September at 7pm.
Wine and soft drinks will be provided, and there will also be a cash bar.

Conference Banquet

The banquet will be held in Heatherden Hall, which is a magnificent Georgian
mansion in the grounds of Pinewood Studios.  There will be a sherry reception
in the Gatsby Suite (used in the filming of the Great Gatsby),	followed by a
buffet in the main restaurant area.  Transportation to and from the banquet has
been arranged.
