No, all Brits always stay in First Class, only Irish, Welsh and
Scots get to stay in steerage.

Also, by the way, the Queen Mary is sold out, all booked up.
However, the conference organizers have gotten a block of rooms
at an adjacent hotel. Check under the SHA Home Page, under
the 2001 Conference, Long Beach, and you can get the information
for reserving a room in the backup hotel.

Everyone should be reserving their room and completing registration
by now for Long Beach!!!!
