Saturday 20th July 2024

NEW VENUE! - THE LITTLEBURY HOTEL, BICESTER, OX26 6DR

The Littlebury Hotel is a family owned & family run hotel with excellent meeting facilities, a dedicated room for the evening dinner with a private bar. We have negotiated a room rate for those who wish to stay over.

Programme for the Day:

10.00 Arrival and coffee served

11.00 The CDXC 2024 Annual General Meeting

12.00 Lunch break

13.30 Convention Talks

19.30 Dinner

We've moved to a new venue for this year's combined AGM, convention and evening dinner/social. The event will be held at the Littlebury Hotel, Bicester, Oxon. This family-run business was established in 1959 and has grown over the years, and now boasts 35 en-suite bedrooms, a bar, restaurant, and conference facilities. Private car parking is at the rear of the hotel, or if coming by train, the hotel is within 5 minutes walking distance of Bicester's two railway stations. The location will provide first-rate support for our AGM, the afternoon presentations, an evening dinner in our own restaurant space plus a bar/lounge all within a comfortable hotel environment.

Bicester is only 5 miles from the M40 (Junction 9), and is within easy reach by car of the Cotswolds, the Chilterns, Blenheim Palace, and the city of Oxford. What's more, the Bicester Village Designer Outlet is only 10 minutes walk from the hotel for your xyl's ultimate shopping experience!

On arrival, there will be time for a cup of coffee and greeting old friends before the AGM kicks off at 11.00. This is the opportunity for you to hear from your Committee, review the past year and to raise topics for discussion.

Lunch is not provided as part of the package; however there will be a good range of sandwiches available. Please order your lunch on arrival in the morning.

We are in the process of putting together a programme of four presentations for the afternoon session, and details of these will be announced here shortly.

There will be plenty of time for socialising in the bar/lounge before dinner at 7.30pm. This will be in a private dining room and feature a three-course meal followed by coffee, with three choices for each course plus a vegetarian option.

We hope that many of you will take advantage of the room rates for doubles and make it a weekend away with your partner. Bicester and its surrounding area have plenty for them to do during the afternoon.
