Advice for visiting speakers

Current Syllabus / Previous Meetings

Meetings are held in Room GH542 in the Graham Hills Building, Strathclyde University, at 7.30 pm. Please see overleaf for directions. For speakers requiring overnight accommodation rooms can be booked in a Premier Inn Hotel (Glasgow City Centre George Square) which is situated close to our meeting place.

Format: displays are usually two rounds of 96 sheets each, arranged on 12 boards holding eight sheets (up to A4 size) as shown in the diagrams below. The frames stand on tables, which gives little space to lay out oversize sheets or any items of ephemera that do not readily sit on display frames; separate tables can be provided for such items to be shown.

Our meeting room is quite large and we provide a microphone and speaker system to ensure that speakers can be heard. We recommend that speakers put up their sheets and then speak about them from the front of the room, if possible.
