>
>
>The 2003 Autumn Meeting of the Linguistics Association of Great
>Britain will be held at the University of Oxford, Somerville College,
>from September 4 to 6. The local organiser is Gillian Ramchand
><gillian.ramchand at ling-phil.ox.ac.uk>. The conference website will
>appear at http://www.ling-phil.ox.ac.uk/events/lagb.
>
>Oxford is a unique and historic institution. As the oldest
>English-speaking university in the world, it lays claim to eight
>centuries of continuous existence. There is no clear date of
>foundation, but teaching existed at Oxford in some form in 1096 and
>developed rapidly from 1167, when Henry II banned English students
>from attending the University of Paris.
>
>Somerville College was founded in 1879 as a women's college (boasting
>such alumni as Indira Gandhi , Margaret Thatcher, Dorothy Hodgkin and
>Iris Murdoch), but has been admitting men since 1994.  Somerville is
>located very centrally, within a 5-10 min walking distance of the town
>centre with its bars and cafes, and is also a short 10min walk from
>the bus and rail stations.
>
>Accommodation
>Accommodation will be provided on site at Somerville College, in
>single rooms with shared bathroom facilities. The conference venues,
>the bar and the dining facilities will all be located at Somerville
>College.
>
>Registration: From noon on the Thursday, at Somerville College.
>
>Bar: The college bar will be open every night until late.
>
>Childcare: if you require childcare during the conference, please
>contact the local organisers for further details.
>
>Travel
>London Heathrow and Gatwick airports are linked to Oxford by The
>Airline coach service, which operate a direct frequent service
>twenty-four hours a day.
>
>A frequent direct rail service operates between Oxford and London
>Paddington (approximately every 30 minutes), and between Oxford and
>Birmingham New Street via Banbury and Coventry. Other services operate
>from the north via Birmingham New Street; from the South via Reading;
>and from the west via Didcot or Reading.
>
>In addition, frequent 24-hour direct services connect Oxford with
>London (peak times every 10-20 minutes). The Oxford Express X90
>service includes Victoria Coach Station, Grosvenor Gardens, Marble
>Arch, Baker Street/Gloucester Place and Hillingdon.(tel: 01865
>785410). The Oxford Tube service includes Grosvenor Gardens, Marble
>Arch, Notting Hill Gate, Shepherd's Bush, and Hillingdon (tel: 01865
>772250).
>
>Many Oxford streets are now closed to traffic and parking is severely
>limited. Delegates are advised to arrive by public transport, but for
>those planning to arrive by car the routes are as follows:
>London-Oxford A40/M40/A40; Birmingham-Oxford M40/A34; Bristol-Oxford:
>M32/M4/A34.
>
>Parking: there is no parking on site. The local website will give
>advice to those travelling in by car. There are car parks in the city
>which tend to be a bit expensive for longer stays, but which are at
>walking distance away from the college. There are also Park and Ride
>facilities which are cheaper, and then buses take you in to the city
>centre.
>
