        33rd ANNUAL SUMMER SCHOOL
        MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY
        Mon 1st Sept - Thurs 4th Sept 1997
 
The 1997 Summer School is due to be held at the Enfield Campus of
Middlesex University, which is approximately 8km north of London's
city centre. Accomodation will be in the newly built Ted Lewis Hall
which is on campus. All accomodation provided will have en suite
facilities and communal kitchens. The Hall is a short walk from all
facilities.
Due to holding a Summer School in London it is proposed to break with
tradition and run the Summer School from Monday pm to Thursday am,
which will help to keep costs down.  Optional accomodation will be
available on Sunday evening and Thursday evening, giving delegates
the chance to experience London's exciting night life and cultural
delights or  simply to travel on Sunday evening or Friday morning.
