Geography

Click here for a web-friendly map of the University of York main (Heslington) campus, which is where the meeting will be held. Goodricke College is building no. 24, and houses the Mathematics Department (now the sole academic tenant). The Roger Kirk Centre is the newly opened amenity building for the college.
 
Click here for a campus map highlighting all the car parks. Parking is available in any of the four General Car Parks (North, South, West or Central), of which South is most convenient, but be sure to feed the Pay and Display machine: £2 for a full day's parking. We will reimburse this charge. (Unfortunately, we don't have the resources to reimburse the cost of removing a wheel clamp!)
 
Click here for a map of the university in relation to the local main roads.
 
Click here for a map of the university in relation to the City of York, including the location of York railway station. The distance from the station to campus is about 1.5 miles. Bus no. 4 (the Turquoise Line) calls just outside the station and stops on University Road under the bridge connecting buildings 8 (Library) and 9 (Computer Services) on the campus map; it runs every 10 minutes.
 
This meeting is the fourth in the North Eastern Geometric Group Theory Network, organized by group theorists at the Universities of Nottingham, Leeds, York, Durham, Newcastle, Heriot-Watt and Glasgow, and partially supported by a Scheme 3 grant from the London Mathematical Society.

The Mastermind is Sarah Rees.
