1Conference Centre Reservations. Good morning.
2Hi. I'm interested in the computing conference next month.
3Future Directions in Computing?
4Yes, that's right.
5Could I ask you a few questions about it?
6Of course.
7OK.
8I know the conference is for three days
9but actually I want to attend on the Friday and Saturday only.
10Will that work out to be any cheaper?
11Let me have a look.
12Well, you could register for the two days separately,
13but that wouldn't actually save you very much
14as it still costs £35 for each day.
15In fact, if you could register for the three days,
16you also get an invitation to a free dinner on the Saturday night,
17so that's probably the better option.
18Right, I'll do that.
19How much will the fees be in that case?
20It's £75.
21All right.
22I'd like to register for the full three days.
23Now, can I pay that by credit card?
24I'm afraid not.
25You'll have to send a cheque to us,
26or you can pay at the conference office.
27Fine.
28So it's probably easiest if I pay by cheque.
29Now then, what else do I need to arrange?
30Right. How about accommodation?
31I guess that's not included in the price?
32No, I'm sorry, it's not,
33but we do have a few rooms available for delegates at the conference centre if you'd like.
34Those are very cheap but if you're interested you'll need to book soon,
35because there's always a heavy demand for them.
36They are only £15 per night,
37but they are very basic and you'd have to get your own breakfast,
38because they don't provide you with that.
39But it's very convenient,
40because it's in the same building as the conference rooms.
41Uhuh.
42Or there's a very reasonable guest house which is £25 per night.
43And I think that includes your breakfast.
44Is it close to the conference centre?
45It would be about a ten-minute walk away from here.
46I see.
47That sounds quite reasonable.
48The details are all in our conference pack, which I'll send you.
49Great, thanks.
50That'll be very useful.
51Oh, and can you also send me an application form?
52Of course.
53I'll get that in the post to you straight away.
54Is there anything else?
55Yes, actually.
56Can you tell me where exactly the conference centre is?
57Well, it's on South Park Road and it's right at the end of the road next to the library.
58It's a ten-minute taxi ride from the station
59and will cost you £5.
60Otherwise, you can take the bus which runs every half an hour from the station,
61that's the 21A,
62and it brings you straight to the conference centre.
63Right, got that.
