Announcement & Call for Presentations




63rd Alcohol Problems Research Symposium –November 7th and 8th 2007

64th Alcohol Problems Research Symposium - April 2nd and 3rd 2008

65th Alcohol Problems Research Symposium - November 5th and 6th 2008


The Romney Room, Stonecross Manor Hotel, Milnthorpe Road, Kendal, Cumbria LA9 5HP, United Kingdom.



The next three meetings in this long-running series of regular informal events will take place on the above dates. Papers (short abstracts) or other presentation suggestions are now invited. Anybody wishing to talk about their work or ideas in Kendal should get in touch with me.


There is no registration fee for attendance. The 24-hour cost of attendance at the November 2007 meeting will be £105 (single room) and £90 per person (double room). This covers lunch, tea/coffee, dinner and overnight accommodation on the Wednesday and breakfast, morning coffee/tea on the Thursday. Those wishing to have lunch at the hotel on either Thursday are welcome to do so for an extra charge of £13.


Payment should, as usual, not be sent to me. Rates include use of the hotel’s leisure centre (heated pool and hot tub). Participants are requested to pay their own hotel bills before they leave Kendal, but they should all book in through me. The Stonecross Manor Hotel is a comfortable, attractive, stone building situated about a mile (20 minutes’ walk) from the centre of Kendal. It is on the A6 (a main road). It was opened as an orphanage in 1857. The hotel is wheelchair-friendly and has good parking facilities. Taxis to the hotel cost approximately £4-60p from nearby Oxenholme Railway Station (on the main West Coast line) and roughly £5 Kendal Railway Station.


I hope that you and any of your colleagues who are engaged in alcohol research will be able to attend at least one of these meetings. If you do plan to do so, please write, fax or e-mail me indicating your exact accommodation and dietary requirements not later than Monday, October 8th for the November 2007 meeting and one month before each of the other two meetings. Please let me know if you are aware of any alcohol researchers who should be added to the mailing list for these events.

Best wishes,
