5: Pricing & Tickets
'12th Night' let's you choose how much you do, from a single session to the whole event!
A big new venue, and an extra day, adds up to a much more expensive event this year! Nevertheless, we are keeping prices in line with last year in the hope that most of you will convert to the whole weekend and that we can attract an extra 100... there's plenty of room for them!
The single biggest event expense is running workshops but evenings, with band & shows, are the most expensive sessions. For these reasons, there are incentives for booking workshop-biased combinations, and penalties for booking evening-biased combinations.
Please Note: A 'Session' = Morning; Afternoon; or Evening you choose 2 Workshops per each daytime Session
The Deal
The basic price remains £15 per daytime session (Morning or Afternoon). Friday & Saturday Evenings are still £15, and Sunday Evening free, in workshop-biased combinations. In other combinations, the evening price rises by £5 to £20, for Friday & for Saturday, and £5 for Sunday.
apologies but on-line payment won't be up-n-running before this event in the meantime, cheques to 'Salsa York' at 80 South Bank Avenue, York, YO23 1DP
6: University Facilities & Accommodation Parking: There is ample free parking right outside the venue. This is a big improvement & saving! The Roger Kirk Centre: The stated capacity of this purpose-built conferencing facility is 450 seated, or 900 standing. We intend to equip it with around 200 seats and set a limit at 500 dancers. The Centre comprises an entrance foyer, with check-in desk & cloakroom; a cafeteria; and the main auditorium. During term time, it is the 'Galleria Restaurant' and has a stage; bar; gallery; & huge floor. Catering & bar: Cafeteria open all day in the Roger Kirk Centre serving teas; coffees; minerals; sandwiches; & light snacks. The bar will be open during the 2 hour lunch breaks as well as evenings. Vanburgh College Restaurant will be open, for more substantial meals, over both lunch periods and also on Saturday evening. 'The Edge' restaurant in Wentworth College will be open on Sunday evening. Water: The check-in desk in the foyer will have bottled water constantly available. Shower & change facilities are available in the sports complex. Accommodation: There are 100 beds on campus, reserved for conferencing. Most are single en-suit rooms, with a few twins & doubles. There are plenty of hotels, guest houses, & pubs within a few minutes of the University at an average price of £70 per double or twin room. (£35 p.p. per night) We can book rooms for you, or you can sort it out for yourselves. There is plenty of accommodation in York, but very little left at the University As at 07.01.09: 3 singles & 1 twin available for Friday night only See full list at 9 below.

7: Merchandising & Raffle Dean Maynard’s Simply Dance Wear; Bespoke Dance Shoes; Eagle Activity Tours Salsa Holidays; Bernice Hargreaves' Aromatherapy massage; Jose Cardosa's LatinArtOnline Photography; & more The Raffle Apologies folks! The raffle is scrapped due to general lack of interest, & lack of time to organise it!
8: The Workshops Changes this year: Evening workshops before the parties have been scrapped. They were never very popular! Better workshop times will give you an extra half hour in bed; longer breaks between classes; and a better lunch break which we hope will develop into a bit of a 'social' in the main venue. General organisation is a little different: St. John's had a lot of fairly small spaces; the University has a smaller number of much bigger spaces. You will see that we've scheduled compatible classes, at different levels, in the same space at the same time. It'll be easier for you to make a quick shift of levels.
Basic Timetable this year: Saturday & Sunday Morning: 1st workshop 11am - 12pm; 2nd workshop 12.30pm-1.30pm Lunch: 1.30pm to 3.30pm Saturday & Sunday Afternoon: 1st workshop 3.30pm-4.30pm; 2nd workshop 5 to 6pm

General Location: The University is situated to the Southeast of York, about 7 minutes from the city. It lies within the outer ring road between the A1079 Hull Road, approaching from the East, and the A19 Selby road, approaching from the South. The Black Bull is on the A1079 Hull Road. All others are on, or just off, the A19 Selby Road.
Notes: 1: The University is a huge sprawl of separate colleges set around a large lake with interconnecting walkways. En-suite rooms are in special accommodation blocks for the use of conferences and short-term visitors. There will be pressure on these rooms from foreign students arriving early, for the new term, on long haul flights. Wentworth is only 2 minutes walk from the venue, across one of the lake bridges. Breakfast is provided in the Edge Bar within Wentworth College. Park in Wentworth Car Park. Franklin is in a quiet corner of campus, on the opposite side to the venue. You could get lost if you tried to walk it! Breakfast is provided in Quarks within the adjacent National Science Learning Centre. Park on the far side of the Campus North Car Park, next to the National Science Learning Centre. You’ll need to book University rooms through Salsa York. We’ve reserved all the rooms, to block other bookings. As at 03.01.09: 6 single rooms available for Friday night only
2: Black Bull is a large out-of-town pub, serving excellent food, attached to a new-build Innkeeper’s Lodge motel.
3: Pavillion is a Best Western hotel. It’s quite posh & older style. Quote ‘Salsa Event’ to get the special price.
4 to 19: Older style Guest Houses and Hotels often with ‘family’ rooms & offering good deals on 3 or 4 to a room.
20: Novotel is a large new-build hotel. Probably over-priced unless you want a spa; gym; and all mod cons.
21: Travel Lodge is inside the city wall, if you actively want to be close to town. Note* that the very reasonable prices are for room only! Travel Lodge is attached to a Wetherspoon’s bar/restaurant serving excellent breakfasts.
