Local Organiser
Cost
There is no registration fee for the Camp. Participants will be responsible for their own travel, accommodation, and subsistence costs.
Formalities
All external (non-STFC/non-Diamond/non-RC@H) participants will need to be pre-registered by the Local Organiser in order to get a Site Pass. Please email the Local Organiser your arrival and departure dates.
NOTE: Please would internal participants also contact the Local Organiser so that a track of attendance can be kept
Accommodation
There is only limited accommodation in the immediate vicinity of RAL and so if participants do not wish to commute each day they are strongly encouraged to use the RAL Visitor Guesthouse, 'Ridgeway House'.
Ridgeway House Cancellation Policy Period Of Notice Per Person Group Bookings Up to 3 weeks No Fee 50% of Value 1 - 4 Days 75% of Rate 75% of Rate (Clarification is being sought about what happens between 3 weeks & 4 days!) Less than 24 Hours 100% of Rate 100% of Rate
PLEASE NOTE: As of December 3 2013, ISIS will now be in-cycle during the Camp. This means that once experiment scheduling takes place (probably from mid-January 2014) there will be fewer rooms available in Ridgeway House. Prospective participants are therefore strongly advised to book accommodation at Ridgeway House as soon as is practical.
