University of Wales Trinity St Davids College, Carmarthen Campus

Sunday 4th and Sunday 11th August 2013

 

****** Don't forget the balance of fees is due on 15 April 2013 ******

 

Carmarthen is on a direct Great Western route from Paddington Station. We plan to provide transport from the station for those travelling by train if times of arrival are notified to the organizers well in advance. Road access is via the dual carriage way continuation of the M4. The College is situated on the outskirts of Carmarthen within easy reach of the shops, about fifteen minutes walking.

Accommodation and Facilities

All accommodation is en-suite (even I can turn round in the showers) in single study bedrooms. Extra nights’ accommodation, both before and after, can be booked direct with the college. All meals will be provided. Breakfast and evening meal in the refectory and packed lunches delivered to the classrooms. Tea and coffee will be provided in the classrooms. There is a coffee shop ‘Starbucks’ on the campus and kitchen facilities in the accommodation blocks. This is a college on a hill but there are slopes to access all buildings and we are planning a minibus service for those who find moving round the site difficult.

There will be no companion's programme but plenty of local information will be available.

Bursaries may be available for suitable students. Details are available here.
