Accommodations

Our Convention Headquarters will be at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in downtown Fort Worth. We have blocked rooms at the Radisson Plaza for the Convention and in return are receiving our function space free of charge. Thus, although you are of course welcome to stay anywhere, you are encouraged to take advantage of the excellent rate reduction we have received. For all you "surfers," the Radisson website is www.radisson.com/ftworthtx.

You are responsible for making your own reservations. Call the Radisson Plaza directly at 817 870 2100 (toll free at 800 333-3333) and remember to tell the hotel you are with the Southwest Section AAPG Convention in order to receive the special group rate ($109 Single/Double). Note-these rates apply only thru February 6, so make your reservations prior to that date. Check-in time is 3:00 p.m., and check out time is 12:00 noon-the hotel will make every reasonable effort to accommodate you on these times.

If you are unable to get into the Radisson Plaza, desire information on other accommodations, or just desire more information on the Radisson, please contact either of our Hotel Committee members (Simianne Johnson-Hayden @ 817 390-8664, sjhayden@basspet.com or Terri Mayfield-Cowan @ 682 429-7493, tmc@paluxyridge.com)
