EuroForth is consistently the best international Forth conference, attracting people from Australia, Hong Kong, South Africa and North America. EuroForth 2015 will be held in England in the elegant and interesting city of Bath. Situated in the heart of Bath, Pratt's Hotel is within walking distance of Bath's Original Theatre Royal, Masonic Museum, Roman Baths, and Bath Abbey. Also nearby are Bath Theatre Royal, the Jane Austen Centre, and plenty of shopping.
For those with a regard to the history of Forth, Bath also contains the herschel museum of astronomy.
This will take place at Pratt's Hotel, immediately before the EuroForth conference. It will start after lunch on Wednesday, 30 September and will finish before lunch on Friday 2nd October. Delegates to the standards meeting will arrange evening meals amongst themselves.
The conference offers single en-suite accommodation in the hotel with all meals. You are welcome to bring your partners as guests to enjoy Bath while the delegates do deep technical stuff (even until late into the night). Guests will be offered a range of half day activities (visits, tours, shopping etc) while the conference sessions are in progress; meals will be taken with delegates.
Conference papers are welcome on any topic related to the Forth programming language, including:
Topics for workshop sessions are also invited.
Bath is an old Roman city, the streets are narrow and best explored on foot.
Bath is located just ten miles from junction 18 of the M4 motorway, running from London to Bristol. The hotel does not have its own car park but the Manvers Street car park (BA1 1JZ) is directly opposite the hotel.
The bus station is located in the city centre, less than half a mile from the hotel. National Express runs a regular service between Bath and Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Bristol airports.
On leaving the bus station turn right and walk for approximately 1 minute to the train station.
Bath Spa station is situated next to the bus station. It is on the main line from London Paddington (approx 90 minutes) to Bristol Temple Meads (approx 15 minutes) and on the Southampton (approx 110 minutes) to Cardiff (approx 100 minutes) line.
Use the National Rail site to look up times.
On leaving the train station head for The Royal Hotel Bath and continue down Manvers Street for around 4 minutes, passing both the Police station and the Manvers Street car park on the right. Turn right after the car park and the hotel is on your left.
The position of the Bath Spa station on two main train lines means there are a large number of airports one can use.
The program of events include a conference dinner at the Holburne Museum on the Saturday evening.
The Sunday will include a trip along the Avon to an afternoon tea at The Old Mill Hotel in Batheaston.
