Information updated: Dec 29, 2021:

The Society’s Winter Meeting has been moved on-line, via Zoom, because of the increased risks associated with in-person meetings due to the rapid transmission of the omicron variant of Covid-19.  Below are set out various possibilities which now apply; and the whole Committee hopes that these will enable more members to participate in the interesting programme of papers.
 
  • Members who were unable to book for Nottingham may now wish to book for the online meeting, for a payment of £30. Please fill out the  2022w Booking Form SOTS online.* As the form states, the deadline for bookings to be received by the Hospitality Secretary is 12.00 (noon) GMT on Monday 3rd January. *(The £30 payment icon is now visible on the website shop.)

  • Members who have already booked for the Nottingham meeting do not need to take any further action. Their bookings have already been transferred to the online meeting and they will automatically receive more information from the Information Officer, Zanne Domoney-Lyttle.

  • Those who had booked for Nottingham and had already cancelled, but had not yet received any refund, have also been transferred to the online meeting list and will receive the link to the sessions in due course.

  • Information about the process for claiming refunds for all those who booked for Nottingham will be sent out at the end of the meeting on Thursday 6th January. 
 
In addition all members, whether booking for the meeting or not, will be able to access listings and discount offers from selected publishers by logging in to the Members’ Space on the SOTS website from Monday 3rd January.
