Aston INTAMAP Y2 meeting 3-6 September 2008.

The main meeting will take place in G6/G8 (meeting room) and G11 (lecture theatre), which are on the ground floor of the Main Building at Aston. I have created a Google Map to show where this is. The accommodation is in the Business School annex (again see map). The chart below shows what rooms I have booked for people.

Google Maps details of where things are. The official Aston instructions are here - Aston directions. If you are flying in to Birmingham Airport, then you can either get a train - choose a direct one - they run every 30 minutes - to Birmingham New Street station (about 10 minutes travel), or you can get a taxi - this should cost around 15-20 pounds and take about 20-25 minutes. If you go to New Street station you can easily walk - route is shown on Google maps above - it takes 10-15 minutes.

I will provide a weather forecast here on the 1st of September!
