We look forward to welcoming you to LSA 2005's terrific programme of evening social events including drinks, great food and special entertainment. Delegates and companions welcome too. Please book directly with conference "admin" (see booking details on registration forms). Festival Theatre On the first conference evening a drinks reception will be held in the Johnnie Walker Foyer of the Festival Theatre. This event is sponsored by the Centre for Festival and Event Management at Napier University and will include the official launch of the Centre.       Delegates will be whisked away from Craiglockhart Campus to sample the delights of Edinburgh's famous Festival Theatre. There they will be greeted with a glass of fizz, followed by a sumptuous array of canapés. These are not just little tasty morselsthese are substantial canapés including Achiltibuie Whisky-smoked Salmon Blinis with Sour Cream and Dill, Drop Scones with Whipped Cream and Blueberrie, Mini Yorkshire Puddings with Rare Beef Fillet and Creamed Horseradish, Stilton and Red Onion Marmalade Crostini and Beetroot Muffins with Herb Goats! These will be accompanied by a selection of delicious wines to encourage delegates to relax and network.       Once the event finishes at 8 delegates are well located to explore the Old Town or head into the centre of Edinburgh. A range of well-priced restaurants are nearby for those who might still be a little hungry, though we doubt this will be the case! Delegates will also be well located to head back to their accommodation if they wish ~ with the main conference hotels and flats within an easy 5 minute walk. City Chambers This second evening of the conference is sponsored by the City of Edinburgh Council. Delegates will be welcomed to the City by the Lord Provost during an evening at the City Chambers on the Royal Mile. These historic rooms afford great views of Princes Street and to the River Forth, while a jazz band will create a relaxed atmosphere.       A two course finger buffet with a contemporary flavour including strawberries dipped in chocolate and fruit kebabs will be accompanied by Fair Trade wine. The event will finish by 10pm, allowing delegates to either continue their experience of Edinburgh's nightlife or retire!       The City Chambers are well located to allow delegates to head back to their accommodation or continue socialising, with the bars of George Street only 10 minutes walk and main conference accommodation within 5 minutes.
