Dear Colleague.
Welcome to BSDR/NOF 2007

It is a great honour for us here at Newcastle University to be asked to host the 2007 BSDR which takes place between Tuesday 3rd and Thursday 5th April 2007, held in the collegiate atmosphere of Durham University in the historic and beautiful city of Durham. This year we are delighted to be having a joint meeting with the Scandinavian Association (NOF). We are determined to ensure that the 2007 meeting is successful and we aim to ensure that both the scientific and social programmes will appeal to all delegates.

The following information will help delegates with their prior planning and organisation
for the meeting. Information about the Conference including on-line registration and abstract submission details may be found on this website. The website contains comprehensive details of the Conference, how to register for the event, travel to Durham, and accommodation information. All sponsors will be acknowledged on the website, and links to their home page can be provided on request.

Durham has a wealth of historic interest and is small enough to easily explore on foot. The Castle and Cathedral dominate the city skyline and have been designated as a World Heritage Site. Durham has a good selection of shops, pubs, wine bars and restaurants, and sporting facilities include golf courses, rowing and river boat cruising.

The Welcome Reception will take place on Monday 2nd April 2005 in Collingwood College and is sponsored by the Dental Academic Staff Committee of the British Dental Association. On Tuesday night there will be a River boat Cruise along the river with fabulous views of the Castle, Cathedral and City. The Annual Conference Dinner will be held in the magnificent Great Hall of Durham Castle, Hogwarts Dining Hall of Harry Potter films (Wizards robes optional!) on the Wednesday night followed by dancing to to a Swing/Jazz band (book early as this will be very popular!).

This conference will be fully electronic, with electronic submission of abstracts, and PowerPoint for all oral presentations. Please note that comprehensive instructions for presenters will be posted on this website. There are a broad range of topics covered in a varied academic programme.

We are extremely grateful to our sponsors for the support they have shown for this meeting.

Finally may I, on behalf of the Local Organising Committee, welcome you to Durham, the Land of the Prince Bishops, and trust that you will enjoy a unique, hospitable and stimulating Conference during BSDR/NOF 2007.

Professor Mark Thomason
Chair of Local Organising Committee
