The location of the Centre for Mathematical Sciences is described in the web site accessed by clicking on the address above.
Approaching northbound on the M11 exit at junction 13 and turn right at the traffic lights onto Madingley Road. Wilberforce Road
is on the right about  one mile from the junction after MacDonald's restaurant.  For those arriving at the station there are
no direct buses. The options are (a) take a taxi or (b) take a bus to the centre of town and walk (about 20 mins) or (c) walk
(about 40 mins).  A more detailed map for access is available as is a  larger scale map  (from the Cambridge City website).

There is no parking on the site and you must find a place in one of the neighbouring roads. Those near the site tend to be full
but anyone willing to walk a little should find somewhere.

Anyone is welcome to attend but if you do intend to come please email Ron Horgan (rrh@damtp.cam.ac.uk). In the event of
oversubscription (>150) priority will be given to earlier registrands.
