Patrick Nott legacy
If you need help with the cost, there is some money available courtesy of a legacy from the late Patrick Nott, which allows a 50% discount, up to a maximum of £500, on the conference fee. It is available to anyone from the UK or Ireland attending the 2023 conference, but the total sum available is limited so applications will be processed on a first-come first-served basis. You should email a copy of your booking form to the Hon Secretary at secretary@industrial-archaeology.org with a brief explanation of why you are seeking the discount. You will be informed about the result, and if your request is approved your application will be forwarded to Michael Messenger so that your place can be booked. He will then contact you to request the reduced amount to pay. If the application is from a couple, only one person will be eligible for the discount. The Council’s decision is final.
The Tour Notes and Gazetteers for earlier Conferences are available to members through the Past Conferences page.
