particular may be eligible for a travel subsidy provided to the NMRG

The venue for the conferences is the Royal Station Hotel, which is 50m
to the right on leaving Newcastle Central Station. Some speakers and
participants find it useful to stay a night in the Hotel (tel.
0191-232-0781, fax. 0191-222-0786). We use the Royal Station Hotel
because this saves further travel within Newcastle to either Newcastle
or Northumbria university.
