Registration
All are welcome, and there is no registration fee for attendance. Please register with Tyrone Rees (tyrone.rees@stfc.ac.uk) so that security passes can be arranged to allow you onto the RAL site.
We will go out in Didcot for dinner in the evening. Please indicate whether or not you'd like to join us when registering so we have a rough idea of numbers.
Location
The postcode for the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory is OX11 0QX.
The nearest train station is Didcot, and the Thames travel X32/32A/X34 buses travel between Didcot Parkway Station and the Harwell Campus (~ 15 minute journey, with a bus every 15 minutes). Taxis are also available at Didcot Parkway Station.
