Positive response to IVR AGM returning to Stratford-upon-Avon

Since the announcement the IVR would be returning to Stratford upon Avon for the Annual General Meeting (AGM) weekend, the feedback has been reassuring. Although the hotel had proved highly popular the Institute had considered changing the 2018 venue as following the extensive refurbishment the hotel had been upgraded from a Holiday Inn to a Crowne Plaza, with the associated increase in prices. A comprehensive search for another hotel, which could accommodate the number of guests, showed that even with a change of location the accommodation packages, which have remained the same for four years, would have to increase. Therefore the decision was made to go back to Stratford upon Avon.

Bookings are now being taken for the event and the 2018 package costs are;

Friday 2 / Saturday 3 March         

Double or Twin room with breakfast                    £325 inc VAT

(includes two tickets to the Gala Dinner)

Single room with breakfast                                   £245 inc VAT

(includes one ticket to the Gala Dinner)

Saturday 3 March only

The format of the weekend is yet to be confirmed but the AGM will be held on Saturday 3 March, with only IVR members being eligible to attend. In the evening all are welcome to join the IVR Council at the Gala Dinner, which will include the presentation of the Jack Ovenden Award 2018 for ‘Outstanding Student of the Year’.
