This company have offered a 10% fare discount to all BSP attendees. Costs for a single individual are £17.50 one way less the discount of £1.75. However, the price reduces if more than one delegate shares the trip. Contacting FlightLink and quoting promotional code BSP will obtain the discount and finalised fares will depend on how many are sharing the trip. Flight Link will contact the delegates direct to inform them of final fare and arrange payment. No return trip will exceed £31.50 (when the discount is applied).

BSP Autumn Symposium - Progress in Paediatric Parasitology
23rd September 2010
The BSP Autumn Symposium 2010 will be held on 23rd -24th September 2010 at Durham University's Queens Campus in Stockton on Tees. Run in conjunction with the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, we are stretching the programme over 2 days beginning after lunch on the 23rd and finishing after lunch on the 24th. This approach is being taken to allow people travelling from a distance to spend just one night away from home whilst being able to attend an evening social event. The talks will be given by invited speakers and we will also run a poster session.
