June 12, 2008: The Conference Dinner will take place at 19.30 on Thursday, June 12, at the Freemasons' Lodge next to the Niels Bohr Institute (Blegdamsvej 23; see map of the area HERE). Due to a combination of generous sponsorship and good spirit among neighbours, we are able to offer an excellent three-course dinner with all beverages and entertainment in a spectacular setting for a nominal price. Tickets for the dinner are ordered at the BDP registration site, and capacity is almost unlimited. Don't miss this event (but be sure to tell us of any special dietary requirements)!.
