After you have spent your day buying new gear and listening to all the interesting talks, why not stay a bit longer and relax along with the helpers and speakers in the Stirling Court Hotel in the University grounds. We have a combined Disco/Ceilidh organised with a traditional stovies supper at half-time to keep you going. Tickets are available here.
Folk can start arriving from 7:30 with the dancing kicking off at 8pm. You may find some folk propping up the bar earlier. We will have a couple of traditional games to keep you on your toes, but the main thing is to relax and enjoy yourself. Dress code is come as you like, but we advise against wearing your dry suit, a kilt would be quite warm enough!
We have a specially discounted rate for Conference goers that want to stay over in the Stirling Court Hotel, so contact them directly - call 01786 451666 (www.stirlingcourthotel.com) and explain you are there for the Dive Conference. If you are unable to obtain discount contact the SDC mailbox (scottishdiveconference@hotmail.co.uk) and we will try to ensure you get the special rate. Alternatively there are loads of hotels and B&B nearby (for example, have a look at www.destinationstirling.com/book-your-stay/).
We look forward to seeing you there!
