Cross & Cockade International

Cross and Cockade International are hosting a seminar over the weekend of 22nd to 24th June 2012.

Never mind the Olympics - THIS will be THE unmissable event of 2012 - for anyone interested in WW1 in the air! Nine top flight speakers from all over Europe; the chance to talk with like-minded people and meet with well-known authors and researchers.

The different options are shown below, ranging from day attendance at £150, to £295 including two nights in the hotel and the formal Saturday evening meal. Partners are also welcome - with very reasonable rates and access to the heritage sites and excellent shopping of York!

The deposit to reserve your place is £50, regardless of the final booking.

Coming soon! Watch this space ...

As well as our London meetings, we also hold a long-running series of quarterly meetings in York

Our London meetings are held on HMS President, moored on the Tahmes Embankment. While this is handy for several tube stations, it's not that easy for those wanting to travel by car.

Colin Huston has recently found a great parking scheme nearby, which might be of interest to other members.
