CSG Convention 2011The date for the CSG's 2011 Convention has now been set for : - 18th - 19th - 20th March

 

The venue is totally new and should meet with everyone's approval, it is The Kilhey Court Hotel, Chorley Road, Standish, Wigan, Lanc's. WN1 2XN. This is a superb four star hotel with enough room to cater for our every need. The conference room holds up to 300 people.

There are a few changes to the pricing structure, which will be a little different from previous years in that rooms are charged per person rather than per room. However the room price does include a three course dinner (Multiple choice menu), which will be of a much higher standard than we have been served with in the past.

 

Because this is a relatively small hotel with a total of 62 rooms, bookings will be on a first come first served basis and those that book their tickets early will get discount.

 

The Booking form and Menu choices can be downloaded now. These forms are in PDF format.
