Mike, if you're able to find a donated venue elsewhere - or, indeed, if anyone else can - there's no reason a second session can't be arranged if there's enough interest. The volunteer that raised this is based in London so it makes sense to offer the Wikimedia UK office as a space.
It doesn't have to be an either / or proposition.
