Possible venues
Is it too early to start thinking about possible venues if a UK bid is to be created? London is an obvious candidate & Oxford has previously been suggested, however would Bristol be possible? If so I have recently had some communications with the UWE Bristol Exhibition and Conference Centre about another event & asked whether it would meet the criteria set out at requirements for bidding cities. It has several areas (approximate metric measurements and maximum capacities):
- Zone A. 41m x 37m. 1000, theatre style
- Zone B. 63.5m x 37m. 1000, theatre style
- Zone C. 71m x 31.5m. 1000, theatre style
- Zone D. 34.5m x 14m. 800, theatre style
- Zone E. 34.5m x 32m. 800, theatre style
And a variety of smaller rooms + student type accommodation if during vacations. If anyone wants me to follow up or find further information I can make contact with the event manager Kerry Ellery.Rodw 13:37, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
