We were due to hold the annual conference in Scarborough in July, but given Covid and the continuing uncertainties around the safety of travel and of staying in hotels in the UK (which are not due to reopen until 4 July), after much discussion it has been decided to postpone the conference until the equivalent dates next year (18-21 July 2021). The Crown Spa has kindly agreed to this postponement, and we are therefore in a good state of preparedness for next year.
So the details of the next Martineau Society conference remain the same, but delayed for a year as follows:
Sunday July 18th to Wednesday July 22nd 2021
Venue: Crown Spa Hotel, Esplanade, Scarborough, YO11 2AG
Telephone: 01723 357400
Website: http://www.crownspahotel.com
Conference Organiser: Prof. Valerie Sanders (V.R.Sanders@hull.ac.uk)
