There are quite a lot of people on it now.<\/p>\n<p>We have discussed whether we could increase capacity at the hotel, but we are told that doing so would make life very uncomfortable for everyone attending, and we do not want to do that.<\/p>\n<p>In that case, and assuming there is demand for another event, where would you like us to hold it?<\/p>\n<p>The easiest option is to do it in Cambridge again, but that seems a little unimaginative, so we are thinking of going elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Immediate thoughts are to hold this in Birmingham, Leeds (or maybe Sheffield), or London, although that seems a little close to Cambridge.<\/p>\n<p>Might you vote for one of these locations, but please do so only if you really want to attend an event in your chosen location, because we want a clear sense of the potential numbers.
