Quoting Dave Cross ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 
 It would be spectacularly appropriate :)
 
I agree :-)

 
 I can't remember exactly what the email I got from them said, but they
 were _far_ cheaper than the Commonwealth Institute (which I also
 investigated). There was a larger room for ~500 and a smaller one for
 ~70. I think the smaller one costs 155 for the evening. So that is
 looking pretty good to me right now.
 
 If I don't get any other volunteers I may consider making it a Magnum
 Solutions sponsored event (if it only costs 150!)
 
You can jot me down for a personal sponsorship of 50. No way I can get
a corporate sponsorship in time. 

Cheers,

Most kind. Thank you. Once again we see the awesome power of the Perl
communities bottomless pockets :)

I've had pledges of £120 and a promise of unlimited wealth from 
Jonathan Stowe, so I'm going to press ahead with the Conway Hall
option.

Cheers,

If it was at Conway Hall could PC Bookshop be persuaded to sponsor it -
after all they are very local.

That's a very interesting idea, but I think we have plenty of private 
sponsors to raise the money for the Conway Hall.

Cheers,

Conway Hall would be a great venue, for the name alone!

It can't be too expensive, because it's used by any number of
fringe anarcho groups, who presumably don't have too much cash
spilling around.

It would also be quite an interesting venue with a lot of character
and Holborn is easy to get to (central and north of the river).

Yeah, in the late seventies - early eighties you used to get bands the
like of Crass and Crisis playing there (use Google you yoofs) I think it
is (the hall that is ) thinged up with some religious group with strong
socialist (in the general rather than party sense) political views ...
