The venue for the Sheffield event has been updated. Robert Holland says:

Due to a difficulty with lecture theatre availability at Sheffield
Hallam on 5th March, we have now moved the Richard Stallman speech
to...

The University of Sheffield Auditorium, Sheffield University Union of
Students, Western Bank, Sheffield, S10 2TN.

There is a free car park available on Durham road, just off Glossop
Road (S10 2JA) and pay & display parking around the University area.

People travelling by train can catch the Supertram for Middlewood /
Hillsborough at the station and alight at the University. The Students
Union complex is across the road from the tram stop.

Further details and registration here...

Those who have already registered will receive notification of this
change and any subsequent event updates in due course.

Demand has already been strong for this event - I would advise people
not to turn up without registering in advance.

Regards,
Mike.
