Things are now set up at Timico's venue for tomorrow's meeting :-)
Here's a few final pieces of information for those attending.
First off, a map link of the event's locations:

UKNOF24 kicks off this evening at 7pm with the pre-meeting Curry Social,
sponsored by LINX. The venue is:
http://www.asharestaurant.co.uk/
Asha Tandoori
2 Stodman Street
Newark-on-Trent, Notts
NG24 1AN
Note that the meeting venue tomorrow is at Timico's new *Data Centre*
facility, this is *different* from their HQ building previously
mentioned. The address is:
Jessop Close
Brunel Business Park
Newark NG24 2AG
which is the *northmost* pin on this map:
http://www.timico.co.uk/contact-us/offices
If you arriving by road, you need to enter the business park via Brunel
Drive and Jessop way, which is different from the HQ directions above.
We also *strongly advise* you read Tref's Travel Tips
http://www.trefor.net/2013/01/14/travel-guidance-for-attendees-of-uknof24-on-thursday-17th-jan-lamma/
as the LAMMA agricultural show is causing quite a lot of extra traffic,
with reports of it taking 3 hours (!) to get from Nottingham to Newark
this morning. Please consider carpooling or getting the train, and
certainly set out in very good time if driving. It's also rather foggy
and frosty around here, so please take care.
While it's possible to walk from the rail stations to the venue, from
Newark Castle station (Nottingham/Lincoln trains) you probably want to
book a cab from Newark Taxi: 01636 705200.
The data centre has some 30 parking spaces - if it fills up, please park
at the HQ location. It is possible to walk between the two buildings,
but only with an escort.
Note that you will not be able to enter the data centre building without
obtaining your name badge from the registration desk in reception.

As usual, and for those of you who are not able to attend, we will be
webcasting the event, at:
http://uknof.bogons.net/uknof24.html
with thanks to Bogons and Portfast.
Remote participation is supported by the IRC channel:

At the end of the day's proceedings (6pm) there will be social drinks,
generously sponsored by Level3, at:
http://www.theprincerupert.co.uk/
46 Stodman Street (just across road from curry venue)
Newark-on-Trent
NG24 1AW
Finally, a big thank you to Timico for hosting and sponsoring the
meeting, and A10 Networks for being our other sponsor.
Look forward to seeing you all tonight and tomorrow !
