[Chester LUG] Networking Course

[Michael Crilly]

I'd love to go, but simply can't afford £100 right now. It would benefit me massively as I'm starting a foundation degree in ICT soon so it would be a head start. Shame.

I hope everyone who goes has a great time! :-)

Regards,

The Chester to Bangor leaves at 6.50 in the morning and will get you there for 7.45am. It is then just a short bus ride down the road. Cost of the return ticket is ~£25. It may be cheaper bought in advance.

We have very graciously been offered the room for minimal cost, which im afraid does not include either lunch or refreshments, so it's a case of BYO (Bring Your Own). There is a canteen there, but I cannt gaurentee it will be open! I will find out and clarify this.
