The Swan Hotel, Wells
The 2009 UK conference was held in the beautiful city of Wells, the HQ being the Swan Hotel, both for accommodation and lectures. Simon Mills and his colleagues at Eyeplan arranged the weekend, which started with a meal on the Friday evening, preceded by a cider tasting hosted by local expert and author, Alan Stone, who also gave a talk entitled “Understanding Somerset Cider” after the meal.
The conference proper got started on Saturday with a series of informative lectures and after lunch there was free time to explore the city and Cathedral, with a walking tour of the city for many of the group.
On Saturday evening we were privileged to have a gala dinner at the Bishop’s Palace, next to the Cathedral, preceded by a short tour of the building.
