• Email sent to groups97@dcs.st-and.ac.uk will be printed out and given to the relevant conferee. It should be clearly designated: Attention of person's name in the subject line. Please do not redirect your email to this address. This is an emergency service only. For really important emergencies, see the next point.
• The Conference Office will be open during weekdays in building 1W (pronounced One West). The administrator there will be Nada Harvey. She can pass on messages from the outside world made to +44 1225 323747 (internationally), 01225 323747 nationally, 323747 from Bath and 3747 on the camPus phone network.
• The Emergency Contact Number (mobile phone) for the conference organizers, valid from July 24th - August 10th is 0802 731972 from anywhere in the UK (including Bath). From outside the UK use +44 802 731972. This number is primarily for reporting travel difficulties, seeking urgent advice, or sending very important messages to conferees when no other method is available.
• Telnet and ftp; if your domestic institution operates a `gateway', it may be that you will not be able to telnet or ftp to or from your home account from Bath unless you register the relevant Bath addresses with your own computer service. The contact from Bath will come from one of two proxies - solomon.bath.ac.uk 138.38.32.1 and tamarin.bath.ac.uk 138.38.32.3. If in doubt, tell your local gurus these addresses and I.P. numbers.
• Domestic Travel to Bath
• Train timetables in the UK. Note that the route planner at this site is sometimes a little loopy. If your route looks bizarre, try forcing an intermediate station. Also note that it tries to minimize the arrival time, not necessarily the price of the ticket. Ask demanding questions of ticket vendors (ask for alternative cheap routes, discounts for travelling out of peak hours etc); if you don't ask, you will almost certainly not be told.
• International Travel to Bath
• British diplomatic missions (addresses, fax numbers etc). Follow the link corresponding to the initial letter of the country of interest. For example t.tex for information about the British mission in Togo.
• Bath Tourist Propaganda
• West Country Tourist Propaganda
• Bristol Airport may be the easiest way to enter Britain.
• John le Carre's flattering comments on Bath University (from his novel -- "Our Game"). You may prefer the amstex source.
• There is a golf course adjacent to the University.
