This will be in the Institute of Education on the outskirts of Reading. The details are at, for those travelling by rail, http://www.reading.ac.uk/about/find/about-findrail.aspx. Please note that the bus has a £1.70 single charge or £3.00 for a day ticket, with no change. Alternatively, you can by a PLUSBUS ticket with a rail ticket. the buses from Heathrow airport stop at the train station. The direct trains from Gatwick airport stop at Reading train station. Our site is Bulmershe (the main site is Whiteknights). A taxi from the train station to Bulmershe is around £6. The area around the station is a building site for a massive revamp and there may be some changes. Directions by car are at http://www.reading.ac.uk/about/find/about-findcar.aspx#bulmershe Coming from London (or Heathrow) on the M4, take junction 11 and follow the instructions.

The Bulmershe site is at Woodlands Avenue, Woodley, post code RG6 1HY for sat nav. You will need a parking permit but we will arrange that, or help you get one on site. I recommend parking at Entrance 3 (big car park at the front and one at the left round the back. We will be using B207 on the second floor in building 1f (at Entrance 3). The map is at http://www.reading.ac.uk/web/FILES/UoRMap_BulmersheCampus_Colour.pdf I will arrange for all suitable entrance doors to be signposted with directions, and the Receptionist in the Main office at Entrance 1 will also be well informed. She will also have parking permits! The lunch room is yet to be confirmed (expected Tuesday) but lunch will be a little more than a snack, but not a sit down meal! We will have access to water and hot drinks during the day. We are expecting to vacate the site for good in December to move to another campus, so please do not expect modern buildings!
