The Convention Committee would like to welcome you all back to the Bournemouth Moat House Hotel which, as some will know, has one large exhibition hall and three other rooms for clinics and competi- tions. This is two less than in ‘93 but still loads of room.
All popular scales available, most with running rights. Trade Stands, Bring & Buy, a Raffle, and a programme for the Ladies are planned.
The hotel is one mile from the town centre and half a mile from the train station. Also it is close to the New Forest and the lovely Dorset countryside and coast line. It has a fitness club with a pool, and other leisure facilities, plus parking for 100 cars.
The hotel has made available 130 rooms, comprising 15 single & 115 double or twin rooms.
