well that sounds like a cracking idea to me :-) Looks like the Easter

I agree that a bar/pub wouldn't be an ideal place for this. I did think the
universitys would be ideal, I know the computing block in Manchester Met uni
is fairly decent. There's plenty of power, internet, and the refectory just
downstairs, which sells food drinks. There's also a lot of
