Student Landscape Institute Council summer trip to Amsterdam and IFLA 2008

29th May 2008

This year’s Student Landscape Institute Council summer trip will be to Amsterdam and IFLA 2008.

The trip will run from Saturday 28 June to Saturday 5th July.

“The theme for IFLA this year is Transforming with Water, and as well as the IFLA events themselves we will be visiting central Amsterdam, Westergasfabriek Park and Borneo Sporenburg in Amsterdam’s Eastern Docklands,” says Ian Lanchbury, SLIC chair.

“People who cant make all the days but want to attend just part of it are more than welcome.”

If you wish to take part, contact Ian Lanchbury by Friday 13 June. After this date, SLIC will be reserving accommodation, and making travel and meeting arrangements will be made.

“SLIC won't be making advanced payments for trip attendees, so if you wish to attend, we will provide all the details of where and when to book, to allow you to easily do so yourself - A 3-Day student ticket to IFLA 2008 costs 150 euros. Someone from SLIC will be at the Hostel to meet you on arrival.”
