The Pre-Conference Dinner is held the night before DDD South West 4 and everyone will be welcome to come along.

Last year's event was held at Zero Degrees and the night proved to be a success. This year's event is still in the planning so we have not confirmed yet where the dinner will be held but we will update the site when we have more information.

After DDD South West 4 we will be having a Geek Dinner (loads of geeks having dinner together). Here are the details:-

Location: Water Sky (Chinese restaurant), 1 Eastgate Road, Bristol (just off M32 Junction 2)

Map & details: See http://tinyurl.com/watersky

Getting there: About 10 minutes by car, just under 3 miles away. We will arrange a meeting point for people who want to share taxis to get there. For people driving, we will hand out a map with directions & satnav reference on the day. It has its own large free car park.

Food and prices: The all-you-can-eat option is £16.95 + drinks and tip. They can also cater for special dietary requirements.

Seating and payment: We will have an area of the restaurant for our tables. Each table of 10 handles its own bill and payment.

Signing up: When you arrive and register at the conference, you'll be asked to sign up for your place at the meal. Once all the places are taken, we're full - it's first-come-first-serve for this.

We hope you enjoy our latest video, shot at DDD South West 3 which will provide you with a brief insight in to what you can expect on the day.

And now you can watch the video (4 minutes 26 seconds) of DDD South West 1. Our profound thanks to Chris King for his stirling creation.
