+\section{Notes}
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Payment for the meeting, all
+meals (including a conference dinner), refreshments and
+accommodation for the night of Monday, March 21st, will be \pounds89 for
+members of \ukt{}, and \pounds120 for non-members.\label{payment}
+\item Additional night's accommodation (bed and breakfast) can
+%can the pedants confirm whether this should be night's or nights'
+be included at a cost of \pounds20 per night.
+Indicate which additional nights you require
+(if any). If you do {\bfseries not} require accommodation for the night
+of Monday, March 21st, {\em deduct} \pounds20 {\bfseries and} note
+this.\label{extra-night}
+\item `The \LaTeX\ Companion', by Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin,
+has recently been published by Addison Wesley. It is the main source of
+documentation about \LaTeXe. We hope to have this book
+available to delegates at a discount from its normal price of
+\pounds26.95. Please indicate whether you wish to take advantage of
+this offer, which is available only to those attending
+the meeting.\label{companion}
+\item Cheques should be made payable to `Warwick University'.\label{cheques}
+\item A Purchase Order, with an order number, is an
+acceptable alternative method of payment, but
+will attract a \pounds15 surcharge on the amount due.\label{purchase-order}
+\item If your cost is outside the range \pounds69--175, recalculate.
+\item Return the completed form to arrive by Tuesday March 1st, 1994.
+We cannot guarantee enrollment after that date. If you are unable to
+return the form by then, but are definitely coming, contact
+the local organiser by email, telephone, fax or mail to secure a place.
+For contact details, see over.
+\item If your requirements are not met by the options offered,
+contact the local organizer.
+\item Note that VAT is not chargeable.\label{no-vat}

+\section{Meeting duration}
+The meeting registration will commence at 1000 on Monday 21st;

+
+\section{Travel to Warwick University}
+There is an Inter-City rail service to Coventry, but from some
+locations it may be easier to travel to Birmingham initially.

+\noindent\small Trains from Birmingham to Coventry are frequent
+and fast (journey time of 20--30 minutes,
+departing every 10 or 15 minutes).
+\end{minipage}
+
+\vspace{\medskipamount}
+There will be a shuttle bus service for delegates
+arriving at Coventry between 1000 and 1030.
+The shuttle bus will also be available on the
+22nd to take delegates back to the station.
+
+A taxi from the station to the University costs about \pounds4.
+Alternatively, buses (notably the X10, X12, 12 and 12A) run from just
+outside the station to the University, taking about 15 minutes. It is
+a de-regulated service and as such impossible to guess the fare from
+day to day. It is usually about 50p. The 12 and 12A services are
+`correct fare only', but no-one (except the driver) knows what the
+correct fare is.
+
+
+The University is easily accessible by car, and
+may be reached from the M1, M40, M42, M45, M6 and M69.
+There is ample parking for private vehicles on campus.
+
+Birmingham airport is about 12 minutes from Coventry by
+rail and is connected by a frequent and fast service.
+
