[makerfair]

Colleagues,
I am on the organising committee of the upcoming ICOHTEC History of Technology conference and would like to remind you that online booking ends this Thursday 14th July: http://www.gla.ac.uk/events/icohtec2011/
However, although the website doesn’t say so, day delegates to the conference sessions are welcome on any day, by paying £70/day cash at the Registration desk (in the Wolfson Medical building on University avenue) and in addition, the excursions (individually priced) and Gala Dinner (at the Hilton on Saturday 6th August @ £45 per person) are also open to  those who cannot manage along to the conference itself. After 14th July the online booking system will be closed, so please contact the conference secretariat direct at christine.leslie at glasgow.ac.uk
