I recently had a query about the GA Conference in 1982.
From this description, it seems that due to the LSE being unavailable for the usual period of time (?) the sessions were divided between the LSE and the RGS. It was remembered by a few people in my network, who attended the event.
Here was the report from Conference Officer Barrie Morgan, published in 'Geography'
Annual Conference (Officer: Dr. Barrie S. Morgan)
The Annual Conference was held from 14th- 16th April around the theme "Focus on Europe". This was a new-style Conference since the sessions at LSE were confined to two days, preceded by a late-afternoon and evening session at the RGS. The success of these and attendant innovations were assessed in the report.
