Gillian,
You will be able to register, but I am not sure if you will be able to access your rooms as I don't know where your accomodation is. If it is important that you do, please drop me a note back and I will see if I can find out from the organisers.
Were you hoping to come to the PG event?
Best wishes,
Mat.

If the PG event is 2-4pm (the same time as registration on the programme) does this mean we would be able to register, access rooms etc before 2pm?

> All,
>
> A few announcements for you (and one job, below, to make up for the lack of any in my last email!)
>
> First, there will be a Post-Graduate event at the annual BSA Sociology of Religion conference, being held on the 11th-13th April. The PG Event will be from 1400-1600 on the 11th. Professor Grace Davie from Exeter University and Dr Sarah-Jane Page from Durham University will be speaking on ‘Producing Good Doctoral Research’. I am delighted that we have two engaging speakers with great experience in this area and we are also able to make this event available to those of you who, for whatever reason, have been unable to commit to coming to the whole conference.
>
> For those of you coming to the conference already, I obviously hope you will come to this event (although I would be grateful if you could drop me an email saying you will be there – just to give me an indication of numbers). There is no extra charge to attend the PG event.
>
> For those of you just coming for this session, you will need to register to come by emailing me<mailto:[log in to unmask]> before the 11th March. We have a limited number of supported places available for BSA/SocRel members, on a first-come-first-served basis, for which you will only need to pay £10 (payable by cheque). People registering after these places have filled-up will need to pay the full day-rate for the 11th (see the website<http://www.socrel.org.uk/conferences/Birmingham%202011/index.html> for details).
>
> On a separate, but related note, the conference organisers, Dr Marta Trzebiatowska and Dr Andrew McKinnon would like a PG assistant to help out throughout the conference. In exchange the conference registration fee would be refunded. In practice, the task would involve acting as the first port of call for people's queries, checking the rooms for water, AV equipment etc. and generally making sure that everything is fine. If you think you could help, please email Dr <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Trzebiatowska. Again, this is a first-come-first-served opportunity, with preference given to those who have had papers accepted.
>
> Finally, there may still be some bursaries left for PGs to attend the whole conference so, if you had a paper accepted but have not yet registered – do so as soon as possible (registration costs go up from the 11th March onwards)!
>
> I know that a lot of you have already registered to come to the whole conference and I do encourage any of you undecided to join us as well. I look forward to meeting you all and seeing you at the PG event.
>
> Best wishes,
>
> Mat.
