Registration Fee (Early Bird ₹250 x 4 persons) + St. Marys Day Charge (₹125 x 4 persons x 5 days) = ₹3,500.  

For those CHOOSING to stay at St. Mary's Villa - 

There are 3 types of rooms at St. Mary's Vila:

100 Bed Dormitory
13 Bed Dormitory  (1 room, can be shared)
7 Bed Dormitory  (1 room, can be shared)
5 Bed Room  (10 rooms available, beds side by side dorm style with a bit of space along the foot of the beds for accessing the door and bathroom)

The rate is ₹125 per bed, per day.  Children under 3 are free.  

E.g. for a family of 4 staying at St. Mary's Villa (all over age 3) attending all 5 days of the conference:  
Registration Fee (Early Bird ₹250 x 4 persons) + St. Mary's charge per Bed, per DAY (₹125 x 4 persons x 5 days) = ₹3,500  

If you choose a 5 or 13 bed room you will need to pay for all the beds in that room.  If you plan to share a room please note that the 5 bed room is very small.  There is only one 13 bed room.  So those wishing to share these rooms should fill up the form as one family
