Join us on Saturday 21 June 2008 at the Beardmore Conference Centre, Beardmore St. Clydebank, Glasgow G81 4SA
The cost is £25 for the conference, including lunch and refreshments plus £20 for the Saturday social evening dinner & dance - or £110 for both with an overnight stay on the Saturday night - if wishing to stay over please book this directly with the hotel on 0141 951 6000. You'll still need to complete the conference application though so we know you are coming!
Amended booking form: MS Word Conference Application or pdf Conference Application This form makes it clear that people with ataxia do not have to pay the £25 for the conference itself. If you book directly with the hotel than you can apply afterwards to have your £25 refunded.
If you would like to apply to the Access Fund towards the cost (eg your own travel or for a carer attending the conference with you) please apply to Ataxia UK on this form: MS Word Grant Form or pdf Grant Form.
If you have any questions please ring Asantwaa Brenya at Ataxia UK on 020 7582 1444 (this is also the number for any enquiries about making a booking).
