Meet Stan at the Manchester Museum

Stan the T. Rex

Stan (it's the Tyrannosaurus rex one on the picture!) was discovered by Stan Sacrison in 1992 and you will have the opportunity to see her in real size at the Manchester Museum. A presentation will be given by Dr Phil Manning, University of Manchester. Drinks will be offered.

The event will be followed by the conference dinner with a local favourite - a curry on the great Manchester Curry Mile!

Conference Dinner

Lal Qila

The conference dinner will be held at Lal Qila, where we will enjoy a fine selection of Tandori and Balti dishes.

The event would not be complete without the after-dinner speeches from the Eurographics UK Chapter Chair and the conference organisers.
