Logistics
This years convention will be held in the United Kingdom's second-most populous urban area of Manchester. Manchester can offer us a plethora of experiences. Everything from touristy goals such as shopping and historical impressions to the more authentic experiences showing us the heart of English culture.
Logistics this year are a bit more loose and unstructured, as we are not planning the same sort of road trip this time around. Arrivals at Manchester airport will be happening over the course of the 17th, and so we will attempt to arrange transportation into the city centre as much as possible. It is also possible, however, to make your way into the city on your own using trains, busses or taxis.
We have quite a few members located in the area in question so we should be able to provide transporation to all participants. Otherwise we will need to be self sufficient in this area. People from abroad can rent vehicles, but do keep on the left hand side of the road if you do.
