     refreshments and accommodation for the night of Monday, March 21st,

     of Monday,  March 21st, deduct \pounds20 and note this.
[3] `The \LaTeX\ Companion', by  Goossens, Mittelbach  and Samarin,
     has recently been published by Addison Wesley. It is the main source of
     documentation about \LaTeX2e.  We hope to have this book
     available to delegates at a discount from its normal price of
     \pounds26.95. Please indicate whether you wish to take advantage of
     this offer, which is available only to those attending
     the conference.
[4] Sterling cheques should be made payable to `Warwick University'.
[5] A Purchase Order, with an order number, is an acceptable alternative
     method of payment, but will attract a \pounds15 surcharge on the
     amount due.
[6] If your cost is outside the range \pounds69--175, recalculate.
[7] Return the completed form to arrive by Tuesday March 1st, 1994.
     We cannot guarantee enrollment after that date. If you are unable to
     return the form by then, but are definitely coming, contact
     the local organiser by email, telephone, fax or mail to secure a place.
     For contact details, see below.
[8] If your requirements are not met by the options offered,
     contact the local organizer.
[9] Note that VAT is not chargeable.
[10] A proper LaTeX-able version of the booking form is available from
     the local organizer.

coffee  will be available from 1030; the sessions will start at 1115.
The sessions will end at 1700 on Tuesday 22nd.

Travel to Warwick University
There is an Inter-City rail service to Coventry, but from some
locations it may be easier to travel to Birmingham initially.

Journey                     depart  arrive
Euston to Coventry           0810    0920
                             0840    0950
                             0910    1025
Manchester to Coventry       0718    0929
                             0818    1027
Bristol (TM) to B'ham        0714    0854  Trains from Birmingham to Coventry
                             0830    0954  are frequent and fast (journey time
Newcastle to B'ham           0640    0951  of 20--30 minutes, departing
York to B'ham                0742    0951  every 10 or 15 minutes).

There will be a shuttle bus service running between 1000 and 1030 for delegates
arriving at Coventry Railway Station. The shuttle bus will also be available
on the 22nd to take delegates back to the station.

A taxi from the station to the University costs about \pounds4.
Alternatively, buses (notably the X10, X12, 12 and 12A) run from
just outside the station to the University, taking about 15 minutes.
It is a de-regulated service and as such impossible to guess the
fare from day to day. It is usually about 50p. The 12 and 12A services
are `correct fare only', but no-one (except the driver) knows what
the correct fare is.

The University is easily accessible by car, and
may be reached from the M1, M40, M42, M45, M6 and M69.
There is ample parking for private vehicles on campus.

Birmingham airport is about 12 minutes from Coventry by
rail and is connected by a frequent and fast service.
