The Organisers have made block bookings with various hotels in Torquay, for participants’ convenience of booking at the time of registering.
You can book your accommodation alongside your Registration, via the on-line system.
FOR ALL ACCOMMODATION BOOKINGS, A CREDIT CARD MUST BE PROVIDED, WHICH WILL BE FORWARDED ON TO THE CHOSEN HOTEL. NO DEDUCTION WILL BE MADE BY THE CONFERENCE SECRETARIAT FOR YOUR ACCOMMODATION.Â
ACCOMMODATION CANNOT BE INVOICED FOR
The accommodation account (less the deposit paid including any extras) is payable by you directly to the hotel on your departure. A receipt for all accommodation costs will be available from your hotel on departure.
Important Booking Guidelines:
- No booking will be made if a credit card number is not provided.
- Accommodation cannot be guaranteed after 6th March 2010 as block allocations will need to be returned to the hotels.
- The Conference Secretariat is not able to accept any requests for late bookings after 1st April 2010. At that time, we recommend that you visit: www.englishriviera.co.uk
- Cancellations: all accommodation alterations or cancellations must be submitted in writing to the Conference Secretariat. Any cancellations are subject to the hotel re-selling the space.
Guidance on discounted late bookings
The Organisers have endeavoured to obtain the best rates possible on the basis of block bookings. However, it may be possible for individuals to obtain cheaper rates if bookings are made shortly before the Conference, either via agencies on the Internet or direct to a hotel. If you decide to make your own arrangements for accommodation, your request for rates for late bookings should be directed to the hotel of your choice and will be subject to availability.
