Getting to the University of Ulster at Jordanstown, 
N Ireland

The University of Ulster at Jordanstown is situated 
about 8 miles north of Belfast city centre, on the 
shores of Belfast Lough. Belfast International and 
Belfast City Airports are both nearby. There are 
buses from both airports into Belfast City Centre 
from where it is possible to travel to the university 
(Jordanstown station) by train (from Central or 
Yorkgate Station), bus or taxi. Alternatively, a taxi 
will cost approximately �18 from the International 
Airport or �12 from the City Airport. 

Accommodation

We have negotiated special reduced rates for 
conference participants at the Glenavna House 
Hotel (http://www.glenavna.com), which is situated 
about a 20-minute walk or a short taxi or bus ride 
from the University. The special rate is �45 per 
night bed and breakfast per night for a single room 
for Friday and Saturday nights (the rate is slightly 
higher on Thursday night). You should make your 
booking direct with the hotel, email 
{ HYPERLINK "mailto:enquiriesglenavna.com" }enquiriesglenavna.com, phone 02890864661 (+44-
2890-864661 internationally), fax 02890-862531 
(+44-2890-864661 internationally). mentioning that 
you are taking part in the Motivating Movement 
conference at University of Ulster. The Quality 
Hotel, in Carrickfergus, also offers a special rate of 
�50 per night, but is slightly further away. Bookings 
can be made by phoning 02893-364556 (+44 2893-
364556 internationally), fax 02893-351620 (+44 
2893-351620), again mentioning the conference. 
The hotels have only a limited number of rooms, so 
it would be advisable to book early. Alternatively, 
you may wish to stay in Belfast City Centre and a 
list of hotels, bed and breakfasts and hostels may 
be found on the Northern Ireland Tourist Board 
website at http://www.discovernorthernireland.com, 
which also has general information about the area. 
In general, there are good weekend rates during 
January - ask about 'weekend breakaway' rates. 

Conference Fees/registration

The conference fee is �45 stg, which includes 
abstracts, tea, coffee, lunches on Saturday and 
Sunday, and a reception/buffet on Friday evening. 
It is not necessary to pay this in advance, but it is 
essential to email us to register by 24 January if you 
plan to attend, so that we know numbers for 
catering etc.
