could u please post some more details on accommodation?
Yes....

Do they arrange that for you?
Negative, but they do offer rooms at Dibden Manor for 45GBP per night. Nice little rooms, free WIFI, communal iron/board, private bathroom & shower.

Or did you have to do that yourself?
Ultimately it's up to you. I stayed first night in Dibden then stayed in a nearby Premier Inn which was 60GBP per night. There are also Holiday Inn Express dotted about for about the same price...but remember to tag on at least 10-15GBP taxi fare each way if you take this option

Also i'll be landing at heathrow airport.... any idea how to make it to the CTC center?
Yes, once out of the arrival hall you'll see signs for the "central bus station" this is where all of the NATIONAL EXPRESS COACHES leave from. It will cost you ~21GBP (Maybe cheaper if you prebook online) to go from there to Southampton Bus station....from there you can get a taxi to Dibden Manor for about ~25GBP...make sure you have your directions as it is not a well known place among taxi drivers, but we got there no problem.....The National Express coaches are a good bet as they have electrical plugs, comfy seats and most importantly...WIFI! Well worth it.

Dibden Tip: That building has old-school English pluming and heating...it's like an oven in there! luckily it will be cold outside so crack your windows open the second you get in unless you like to sleep hot!

Hope this helps, best of luck
