Plymouth - the Venue

Plymouth Hoe

Sir Francis Drake

The conference venue will be the Plymouth Hoe Moat House overlooking the famous Hoe and Plymouth Sound. Plymouth is one of Britain’s most famous and historic naval bases. In 1588 Sir Francis Drake is reputed to have continued playing bowls when the invading Spanish Armada was sighted sailing up the Channel. The Pilgrim Fathers set sail for the New World in the Mayflower from Plymouth in 1620. The conference’s technical and social activities will utilise all the connections of Plymouth to create a fascinating four-day programme.
