ps I should add that if booking at TCD, you can register directly with their accommodations office: http://www.tcd.ie/accommodation/Visitors/
Otherwise, there are plenty of hotels in Dublin. If you are willing to take a 10-min bus ride into town, for example, you might consider Bewley's Hotel in Ballsbridge, which often has good deals. It has direct "Aircoach" airport bus service and is located in a former Masonic building on the grounds of the RDS, known to literature as the setting of the bazaar in Joyce's "Araby"

The orphan girls school long gone.
We will send out suggestions on travel (airport bus routes, etc.) closer to the date.

Subject: FW: FINAL REMINDER - REGISTRATION CLOSING MONDAY 2nd MARCH. Spenser Conference 2015
Dear Spenserians,
a reminder below for those attending Spenser2015 ("Spenser's Places") in Dublin in June that registration rates will be going up March 2.
Many of our "reserved" hotel rooms are taken. For those still looking for accommodation, rooms were still available in Trinity College dorms as of a few weeks ago. In my experience, they are comfortable, clean and very conveniently located.
If you tried to register for the Sunday tour to Kilcolman and other sites and were told it is "full," try again soon, as we are in process of raising the cap on number of participants. Spaces are limited by # of seats on the buses but we will try to accommodate everyone.
We will of course be having same-day registration on-site at the conference.
See more at www.Spenser2015.com, and please come!
Regards, --Tom

You must register by this date to be included in the conference programme. Your registration acts as your acceptance for your talk.

During the registration process you will also be able to register for the tour on 21st June and the conference dinner; details of additional related events will be posted on the conference website (www.spenser2015.com<http://www.spenser2015.com>) in May. You will also find a selection of accommodation options, all of which are within a ten-minute walk of the conference centre in Dublin Castle, and which you can book directly through the website. Please bear in mind that June in Dublin is in high season, so you may wish to book your accommodation early.
