Much! Annoyance! From! Yahoo!

Thanks to everyone who replied to my plea - I had 20 people 
confirmed by this morning, so I've now booked the room. It's right 
at the very back of the pub, a conservatory featuring elegant 
wrought-iron tables. No, really. If you happen to be the first 
there, then the room is booked in my name, but if you mention Harry 
Potter, they'll probably know what you're on about. I'll try to be 
there by midday (check-in desk duties permitting :), complete with 
VSD T-shirt and large purple wizard hat.

How to get there:

By Car: There's virtually no parking, so your much better off at one 
of the five Park & Ride car-parks - see http://www.parkandride.net/ 
for more info and useful maps. The Eagle & Child is on St. Giles, 
about 200 yards north of the Ashmolean museum.

By Train: Go out of the main entrance of the station, down to the 
road and turn left along the front of the Said Business School (big, 
new building with strange spire) and carry straight on for about 
half a mile. You'll cross a couple of road, the canal, a couple more 
roads (passing the coach station) until you reach a crossroads with 
Debenhams on your left and Waterstones bookshop opposite. Turn left 
here and carry on for about quarter of a mile, crossing two more 
roads and the Eagle and Child should be on your left.

By Coach: Go out of the bus station the same way the coach came in 
and turn left. Carry straight on until you reach Debenhams etc and 
follow the instructions above.

A simple map of central Oxford can be found at:

The Eagle & Child is on St Giles, about where it says Kellogg.

I'm happy to email my mobile 'phone number off-list to anyone who 
thinks they might need extra help finding us on Saturday.

PS. I've just had to re-type this as Yahoo! ate it the first time.
    Grr, arrg!
