    Hey, I got a phone call aswell, but I wasn't at home. My mum told me that they contacted to tell me where to meet at the train station. To meet near WHSmith.

    I got a participant's guide to the summer school. Didn't you get that?
    Includes contents such as: What to bring; Timetable; Transport; Accommodation, food and drink; etc...

    If you never got the guide, I'd be happy to let you know what the information in the contents were

    Six days left, woo can't wait Kinda nervous though O_o

    All meals provided during the whole of the stay. You can purchase drinks and snacks with vouchers they will give.

    You won't need to bring any bedding or towels, all provided. Bring an alarm clock (Mobile alarm is fine, remember your charger). You may wish to bring a hairdryer as none available in the hall.

    Casual clothing. Do bring a variety of items of varying lengths as some campus bulidings can be cold even in the summer. There will be sports activities, so if you would like to take part bring suitible clothing/footwear. Can also do swimming.

    If you or anyone wants to know anything else, let me know
