We've a number of attendees that haven't received the information email sent out last week. Please find below important information for the 22nd June.

For directions the best postcode is B15 2WN, Pritchatt’s Road. 2. Parking There is limited parking on-site, hence we highly recommend using public transport. It is super easy to get to the university from Birmingham New Street station. (Directions - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/birmingham+new+street/University+of+Birmingham,+Birmingham+B15+2TT/@52.4644953,-1.9307993,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x487096f1df0e0571:0xedfa487a0f2ea32e!2m2!1d-1.89895!2d52.4777506!1m5!1m1!1s0x4870bdcf028ccfaf:0x5eb315231196339a!2m2!1d-1.9305135!2d52.4508168) 3. Registration The £10 deposit (excluding Eventbrite fees) will be returned to you in cash upon registration. This may therefore create a bit of a queue. Therefore, registration will open from 9 am giving you time to mingle before the event begins at 10 am. You need to print your tickets. 4. Refreshments Refreshments will be available similarly to last year, thanks to our sponsors Pupil Progress and Discover the World. These will be available during registration, during the tea breaks and during lunch break. We've managed to get a cafe in the building to open up for us, you may wish to purchase lunch or fancier refreshments from there throughout the day. 5. Sponsors We've two fantastic sponsors, Discover the World and Pupil Progress. Without their support, this event would not be possible so ensure you check them out on the day. Exciting News 1. Explore Geography Gemma has been working alongside colleagues from the RGS to put together a free student and/or teacher day on the theme of Explore Geography on the 21st June at the University of Birmingham. To attend as a teacher sign up here https://www.rgs.org/birminghamcpd/ To book a place for your students, complete the form here https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/gees/outreach/index.aspx 2. Routledge Books and Book Signing Routledge Education will be attending the event with Geography texts and Teaching and Learning books, so you might want to bring some money along with you. In addition, our lead organiser Victoria (MrsHumanities), will be available to sign copies of ‘Making it as a Teacher’ during the lunch break. 3. Sustainability After last years event we have explored ways we could reduce our resource consumption and the waste produced from our event. We’ve therefore taken the decision to limit marketing freebies, including Twinkl mugs. We hope you understand our decision. However, we’d love you to help us reduce waste further so to encourage you to bring along your own reusable mug, cup and/or water bottles, we are in talks with the Centre for Alternative Technology to get an additional prize for an ‘eco-raffle’ to celebrate sustainable choices. Show us at registration and we’ll provide you with a ticket for the ‘eco-raffle’. Reminders
We very much look forward to welcoming you on the 22nd June. Best wishes, Victoria and Gemma
