\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{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.
