Depending on how you
arrive into Cambridge, we can meet you in one of three places. Hopefully,
these are fairly easy to find, but if you have any problems, e-mail me at
[email protected], and I will clarify them somewhat.
a) Bus If you are arriving on a bus or coach, a representative will meet you at Drummer Street Bus Station, by the zebra crossing. The bus station is the large expanse of tarmac on the corner of Drummer Street, just by a small grassy area. Please arrive by 4.30pm. b) Car If you are arriving by car, then a representative will meet you in the Porter's Lodge of Girton College. Girton College is easiest found by locating Huntingdon Road, and traveling north along it until you reach signs for Girton. The college entrance is about 100 yards past the turning for Girton, on your right hand side. Please arrive by 4.30pm. c) Train If you are arriving by rail, a representative will meet you in the foyer of the Railway Station. Please arrive by 4.30pm. If for any reason you are unable to make the meeting time on the day, or become lost, please contact me on (07939) 384234, and alternative arrangements will be made. If you are coming in by any other means, then please contact me to arrange a suitable meeting point. |
