The meetings on Wednesday and Thursday will be in room 106, first floor, Gordon House (entry from Gordon Street). The Friday meetings will be in the Garden Room on the ground floor of the Bernard Katz building; entry is simplest from Gower Street, and when you reach the "auto-icon" of Jeremy Bentham, it's through the doors just beside him.

No registration or prior notification is required from those attending; please just turn up. Apart from speakers and respondents, those attending are asked to make their own arrangements for meals, and for accommodation if required.
