Title: Sabina Kellner, World Tour
Post by: Graham Lee on April 04, 2008, 10:18:20 AM
OK It's not a world tour, just one lecture in the UK.
Sabina is coming over for a week 6/11th July. The plan is to have a lecture probably on the Wed 9th July,
the question is where shall I book. Looking for it to be central for everyone that wishes to attend, still to finalise cost for the day as well.
Your thoughts as always are appreciated.
Morte details about Sabina's fantastic work can be found at,

I expect Sabina will also do "The Interview" on here in a couple of weeks time, althouh I've not asked her to yet.

I think Plymouth would be central Graham :) central for anyone in Devon & Cornwall anyway!!! Depending on the date and where it is, I will try and make it.

It's a shame really that we can't do a little tour.
Watford, Exeter & Manchester would be good, the problem being the cost for venues, hotels etc against how many more would we get in by diluting the tour.
Watford again seems the safest bet, although I'd like to do it where we hold the Sutton day in Banstead. Junction 8 of the M25.

Maybe a little further from the M25 would be good, or somewhere that has good transport links I look at trains for Watford it would take 16hrs due to waiting for trains :( what about Gloucester, Oxford or Warwick?

Dave,
Your just trying to get them closer to Bath. ;)
Watford is pretty good with the M1, M25 & M40 all on the doorstep.

Personally I think Banstead  :D  It would save Graham a lot of travelling, that is my reason, it has absolutely nothingto do with it being very close to me at all lol  :lol:  :lol:

Rollie,

A good Idea as Sabina is from Austria, less travelling for her.
The only problem is that the air tickets are already booked & she's staying for a week to look around London as well.

Well if she's looking around London - then lets do it in London - that work just fine for me!!!

In all seriousness though maybe Banstead would be good - if she's only around for a week and assuming she is staying with you that would maximise her available time by not having to travel to do a a lecture and she could get the most out of the rest of her week too!
