Dear colleagues
I just wanted to extend an open invitation to our next meeting, which will
be held at the National Resource Centre for Dance (NRCD) next Monday (1st
November). The visit will include an introduction to the NRCD and its
collections, plus a tour. Rob Newitt, the Society's new training officer,
will also be giving a short talk, followed by some discussion about training
within the Society.
Non-members of the region are welcome to attend: the booking slip,
programme, business meeting agenda and directions are included below as text
(feel free to let me know if you need hard copies). If you would like to
come, I would be grateful if you could book by mid-day this Thursday (28th
October).

DIRECTIONS, ETC.
The National Resource Centre for Dance is located on the 5th floor of the
library of the University of Surrey in Guildford. The NRCD office is
directly in front of you as you step off the lift or out of the stairwell.
PLEASE NOTE: on arrival, you should report to the library reception desk,
which will be staffed all day.
_______________________________________________________________________
From the Guildford train station: Guildford is 40 minutes from London's
Waterloo Station on the Portsmouth line. On a fast train to Portsmouth,
Guildford is usually the second stop after Woking. Upon alighting from the
train, go up the stairs (not down the ramp) and exit left - in the direction
of the university and cathedral (don't go right to the town centre). You
can either get a bus or walk to the university.
The buses: on exiting the station go directly across the road to a bus stop.
Catch a blue Arriva bus numbers 17, 27, or 37. They come by about every 10
minutes. The trip costs 50p single, 70p return. The journey is about 5
minutes. Ask to get off at the university's Senate House. Walk toward the
tall building with the blue-framed windows (Senate House). To the left of
Senate House, there are some steps. Take the steps, round the corner, and
go up the other steps on the right. Then you are in the 'amphitheatre'.
Head toward the lecture theatres and take the steps just to the left of the
building. Walk straight on to reach the library (on the right). You'll
have to stop and ask people how to get to the library because it's a
confusing campus to find your way around!
The walk takes 10-15 minutes. Turn right upon exiting the station, walk
along to the second street on your right (the one after Rupert Road). It
doesn't have a name, but a sign mentions the car park (park and ride) and
the university. Walk through the car park to a small barrier at the other
end. This is the start of the university campus. Follow the path as it
curves uphill to the left and keep following the signs to the library. Keep
asking people the way.
If you are coming by car: head for the A3 and take the exit to the
cathedral/university/ hospital/research park, not to the town centre. The
University is clearly signed and the roundabout is the first exit if coming
south and the second if coming north. Usually, the visitors' car park is
car park 1, but check the university's website for the current situation.
The car park is pay-and-display (50p for up to 1 hour, ranging to £6 for
over 4 hours). Car park 1 is your left after the pedestrian crossing
shortly after you enter the university's drive. To get to the library, walk
down the spine road, which is directly across from the car park. After the
red-brick PATS building, the road forks. Take the right fork and follow it
around to the left to the library entrance.
Maps
You can find maps and information at: http://www.surrey.ac.uk (click on
'Visiting'). The library is number 9 on the campus map.
