The
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.
