Parking

 

This is there is a new procedure for car parking and this is as follows:   Car parks 7, 8a and 15 are recommended car parks for our Conference.   You should collect a blue token at the barrier, the barrier will then raise.  You need to keep the token with you and hand it over to Rootes reception before you depart.  They will then issue you with a car park code.  This procedure means delegates do not have to try and remember the code to enter and exist but can still park free of charge.

 

You can find out more detailed information on Warwick Conferences here.
