The conference will take place from 13 to 15 April 2010 at Keele University in Staffordshire, ST5 5BG.

Please note that there may be possible delays on the A525 out of Newcastle under Lyme. This is due to access improvement works at the roundabout at Keele Road (at the junction with Gallowstree Lane/Cemetary Road). You may wish to allow a little extra time for your journey.



Staffordshire is in the middle of England with some stunning countryside nearby in the Peak District, Cannock Chase and the Staffordshire Moorlands.
