Social Events, accommodations and transportation  (IEA/AIE-93)

Social Events
     Social events are being planned: there will be a "wine and whisky''
     reception in the City Chambers on the evening of the 2nd followed by
     an optional trip to the Malt Whisky Society or a guided "Ghost Walk''
     along Edinburgh's famous Royal Mile.  The conference banquet is
     scheduled for the evening of the 3rd of June.

     On the evening of the 2nd of June, we have arranged a talk and Whisky
     Tasting at the Malt Whisky Society in Leith.  The Society is unique in
     offering guests the chance to taste a range of Scottish Malt Whiskys
     as they come from a single cask, and before they are diluted for
     bottling.  Guests will also have the opportunity to purchase the
     Society's whiskys, which cannot be obtained anywhere else.

     The trip will cost #7, including transport to and from the Society's
     club room, a brief talk, two very different whiskys and transport to
     and from the Society's club room. Numbers for this trip are strictly
     limited: places will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.

Accommodations
The conference hotel is the Caledonian, a five-star hotel which is about
a 15-minute walk from the conference venue and a similar distance from
Waverley Station.

Transportation
Trains
     There are frequent trains which take around 5 hours from London Kings
     Cross to Waverley Station located in the center of Edinburgh.  Seat
     reservations are available, as are advance booking discounts.

Planes
     Edinburgh Airport is about 10 miles from the city center.  It is served
     by flights from several European airports as well as frequent flights
     from London.  Connection to the city center by airport bus (which
     passes the conference hotel) from Edinburgh Airport costs #3 and takes
     a minimum of 30 minutes, depending on the traffic.  A taxi will take a
     minimum of 20 minutes and costs at least #12.

     Glasgow Airport has connections to many European cities and also has
     flights to the United States.  Busses from Glasgow Airport to the
     center of Edinburgh cost #8 and take at least an hour, depending on
     the traffic.

Edinburgh is a very compact city.  Distances are small, parking is
difficult, and taxis are plentiful and reasonably priced.  Delegates are
therefore advised NOT to bring or rent cars for the period of the
conference.
