#2 The Venue
 |
| Hayes Centre |
1) In recent years the
International Youth Conference has migrated south, having been held in Scotland for a
number of years. Last year it moved to Rotherham,
and now to Swanwick, Derbyshire, for 2013. We want as many as possible to come,
and holding it in a more central location will hopefully mean less time and
money on trains, cars, and coaches, for more people. Please remember to use
your student card to get discounted travel rates when booking your transport.

| All bedrooms are en-suite |
2)
Every attendee will
have a modern and comfortable twin or single en-suite bedroom. Rooms have views
of the grounds and gardens. All en-suite rooms have bathroom suite, towels and
soap, tea and coffee making facilities and a hairdryer. All have exceptionally
high standards of décor and furnishings. Some bedrooms are designed for
delegates with disabilities, including adapted doors and space for wheelchair
users, the provision of alarm pull-cords and specially designed showers and
bathroom suites.
 |
| You can have this every morning! Om nom! |
3) The Hayes offers a fully catered package comprising of continental and
cooked breakfast, mid morning coffee (served with biscuits), a
prearranged choice of hot or cold lunch dishes, afternoon tea with fresh
homemade cakes and a three course evening meal. Refreshment breaks are
served in areas where delegates can relax between sessions, whether
this is outside in the beautiful gardens or in one of the many lounge
areas.
 |
| Not the actual bar, but you get the idea ;-) |
5) A staffed Bar is available, offering a large range of alcoholic and
non-alcoholic refreshments at reasonable prices, including many draught
beers and spirits. The bar will be a nice area to relax and chat after dinner on Friday and Saturday, and we'll have the bar open for drinks before dinner on Saturday evening.

6) The Hayes has beautiful grounds for a morning stroll, a post-lunch wake-up walk, or for a relaxing drink and chat with friends in the evening. There is outdoor seating, a large pond with wildlife, and several small gardens dotted about.
