Dear All,
Can I be cheeky and ask anyone who intends to come to the
Local Population Studies Society conference on 300 Years of
Census Keeping to book a place in the next few days?
Bookings are coming in very slowly and if I don't reach the
quota for the conference by the end of the week I may need
to cancel the event.
I attach a conference booking form. I should add that one
member wrote to me asking for a conference form and I may
have misunderstood a request from him to send him by a copy
of the form by snail mail. If you are that person could you
please email me again with the request and I'll put a copy
into the post later today. You should, however, be able to
print off this email and complete the form below.
