FINAL NOTIFICATION and Last Call for Participants
DAARC96 - Discourse Anaphora and Anaphor Resolution Colloquium
Lancaster University, UK, 17-18th July, 1996
IndiAna Workshop -
Lancaster University, UK, 19th July 1996.
VENUE
DAARC96 and IndiAna are taking place on the Bailrigg Campus of
Lancaster University, situated in one of the most beautiful and
picturesque areas of North-West England. Lancaster is close to the
Lake District and the Fylde Coast, and is one of Great Britain's
oldest cities, with a rich historical and cultural heritage.
DAARC96 and the IndiAna Workshop are taking place in the Faraday
lecture and seminar room complex, situated in the centre of the
campus. A full campus map will be sent to all registered delegates via
surface mail along with a copy of this Notification, a parking permit
and other helpful information. Receipts will be issued on arrival at
the conference to registered delegates who have already paid their
conference fees.
REACHING THE UNIVERSITY
By road:
Lancaster University lies close to the M6 motorway, about 15 miles
north of Preston. Whether you are approaching from the North or the
South, we recommend that you use Junction 33, which lies South of the
City of Lancaster. At the roundabout, take the right-hand exit towards
Lancaster. After about half a mile, you will pass through the village
of Galgate. Continue along this road (A6) for another mile and you
will come to a set of traffic lights at the beginning of a short
stretch of dual carriageway. Turn right at these lights, and you will
find yourself entering the University grounds. Parking instructions
are given below in the section "On Arrival at the Conference".
By rail:
Lancaster lies on the West Coast line, linking Glasgow and London.
Most InterCity trains stop at Lancaster, but some do not, and it may be
necessary to change at Preston to a local train. There are also direct
connections from Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and cities in the South
West. A taxi from the station to the University will cost about #4.50
(more at night and on weekends)
Buses to the University are plentiful, but you will have to walk 500
metres or so from the Station to the bus-stop on Common Garden Street
(in front of the market entrance). Buses may be numbered 1, 2 or
sometimes 2A. Make sure that the bus is also marked "University", as
some take a different route. To get to the bus-stop, come out of the
main entrance of the British Rail station, and turn left onto Meeting
House Lane. At the end there is a T-junction with Waterstone's
bookshop on the right-hand corner. Turn right. Common Garden Street is
the first major road that you come to on your left.
When purchasing your rail ticket, try to buy a "saver", rather than the
much more expensive standard return. Make sure that you give your
journey dates and times, as there are certain restrictions on the use
of a saver.
Note: We will arrange taxis to the railway station to enable people to
get away quickly after the conference ends.
By air:
There are rail connections from Lancaster to Manchester and London
airports, which lie about 60 and 250 miles from Lancaster,
respectively. Leeds-Bradford airport is also not far away, but
prospective passengers might want to take into account that trains
connecting Leeds and Lancaster are now all of the "local" variety -
which is to say that you should reckon on a 2-hour journey with plenty
of stops and not much leg-room!
A return taxi fare from Manchester Airport to Lancaster will cost about
40 pounds if booked in advance. Some numbers to try are: Transair
(0524-411097), Airlink (0524-417234) and Aircar (0524-845845). Taxis
hired from a rank at the airport may cost a lot more.
ON ARRIVAL AT THE CONFERENCE
Parking
Those arriving by car may park anywhere on the perimeter road. We
recommend that you park near Cartmel College, or County College. To do
this, follow the main University access road to the top of the hill,
and take the second exit off the first roundabout, which takes you down
through an underpass. As you emerge from the underpass, turn left at
the next roundabout, continue for 50 yards or so and park in the
vicinity of Cartmel Avenue. CONFERENCE PARKING IS RESTRICTED TO THE
PERIMETER ROAD. Please do not park on any of the avenues. A parking
permit will be included with the surface mailing which will shortly be
sent to registered delegates, and parking permits must be displayed on the
windscreen.
Arriving by bus, coach or taxi
If arriving by taxi, bus or coach, you will probably be set down in the
underpass, or near the University reception. From here you should make
your way to the nearby Alexandra Square, which is the central locus of
the University, and look for the "North Spine", which leads (after 60
metres or so) to the Faraday complex which will be on your right.
Registration.
The Registration Desk is situated inside the entrance of the Faraday
Building, in the Foyer. Here, registered delegates will be issued with
their conference pack, and receipt. The Registration Desk will be
staffed throughout the conference by a team of volunteer helpers, who
will be on hand to assist delegates with any problems or queries they may
have.
Accommodation
This will be in Cartmel and Lonsdale Colleges, in single study-bedrooms
unless delegates have requested double rooms. Ensuite accommodation will be
allocated on a limited basis.
