I've never been to the good ol' UK, so with
the talk of "Northern England"
I just thought it was the name of a town in the region.
After all, if you're looking for something a bit more "outworldly" I've
been to Vulcan a couple of times!
If we stick with the North of England for the moment, a place with a
very appropriate name for holding a VCF (althoguh, I suspect, with no
suitable venue fro such an event) would be 'Hackforth'.
To answer another question in this thread, I am in England (south-west
London, near Richmond). I could only contemplate coming to such an event
if it was held in the Greater London area (actually, London Bus Pass
area, which is slightly larger). And having looked for suitable venues
some years back for such an event with an eccentric friend of mine, we
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.
