Note from the webmaster: Traffic in central Bath is horrendous and parking virtually impossible, you are advised to travel by public transport. The meeting venue is about a ten minute walk from the railway station. There is an excellent train service from London (Paddington) to Bath along the line built by I.K.Brunel, born 200 years ago.
