The Society of Amateur Radio Astronomers is holding a 2-day event at Jodrell Bank at the end of September. Registration is 10 British pounds per person, payable on arrival. Please visit the anouncement page here for full details on accommodation and travel. This should be well worth it. There is even the possibility of observation sessions with the 13m dish! Below is an extract from the anouncement on the Jodrell Bank website:
