A special room rate has been negotiated for convention members. Rooms will be available on Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights for a convention rate of £90 room per night (for either twin/double or single occupancy), inclusive of breakfast. For room bookings, please contact the hotel directly, quoting "Satellite 2". Please note that only a limited number of rooms are guaranteed, at these special rates, until 28th May 2009.
