some years back for such an event with an eccentric

came to the conclusion that suitable rooms (large, solid floor that they
didn't main us putting 19" racks on, enough power capacity for running a
few minis) werre very few and far between, and those we did find were too
expensive, based onthe number of people we expected to attend.
I usspect such venues may be cheaper out of London, but then I wouldn't
attend.
I had a couple of years experience in the Dog Show scene, some time
back, and found that sports halls (school, college and stand-alone)
tended to get used a lot. They ranged from fairly big to Huge, and
had solid floors. For a VCF, though, power might be an issue -
sockets were obviously not a priority in most of their designs.... I
got the impression that they were usually, at least at the time,
fairly cheap to hire,
