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.
Did you look at the old Horticultural Halls, venues of the ZX
Microfairs in the 1980s? Worked then. I attended a lot of those and
they were always great fun.
I usspect such venues may be cheaper out of London,
but then I wouldn't
attend.
Whereas I'd much prefer London myself, why do you adamantly rule out
anywhere else, JOOI? It's only a fiver to go to Guildford or somewhere
like that and most of the SE at least can be done pretty cheaply.
