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.
