Message from Warwick Conferences :
Confirming that you can either confirm the numbers for the bed and breakfast separately to the numbers for the day rate (as these may be different) or you can have an inclusive residential package rate, at a slightly reduced rate, of £87.00 for Dinner, Refreshments, Lunch and Bed and Breakfast or you can have the separate rate for B&B @ £55.00 and a Day Rate @ £34.50 per person.
This sounds good if we can afford it. Sebastian, can you compare this to the cost of working out food for ourselves?

Contacted Sara at Warwick Conferences about a day rate.

Robin Ball suggested we investigate the 'day rate' with those not staying on campus as extras for meals; this cut costs considerably for ECCS09.
