For its 2007 annual conference, the
OR Society is headed to Edinburgh – a city that certainly
lives up to its reputation as one of the most beautiful cities in
Britain. This historic city is one of the world’s most
vibrant and cosmopolitan places and one of Europe's
major tourist destinations.
The three-day conference programme contained a mixture
of plenary
sessions given by keynote speakers (Mark Elder from
Simul8 and Ajaz Ahmed, a leading entrepreneur) and parallel
streams, covering all aspects of OR. In addition there was a comprehensive
social programme.
St. Leonard's Hall.
(Background - the accommodation block in Chancellor's Court) |
The Autumn 1998 School Reunion outside St. Leonard’s Hall
(the above ladies are not to be mistaken for Janet and Sue) |
The conference was held at the University of
Edinburgh where the delegates’ bedrooms in Chancellors Court were
newly constructed in 2003. Many of the sessions were held
in St Leonard’s
Pollock Halls of Residence St Leonard's Hall which, until World War II
was a school for girls called St Trinnean's. This Baronial
style building, with its pepper-pot turrets and a tower, is reputed
to be the inspiration for the St
Trinian's School in the novels of Ronald
Searle and the building was used in the ‘comedy’ films
of the 1950s and 1960s. Fortunately, school uniform is no longer
obligatory for conference delegates.
