I'd really love the idea of a permanent location we could use like the hackspaces. Some places work a subscription model that pays for a location, I've also heard of some who've found a charity with a spare room. In exchange for a bit of IT support, the group has been given the use of a room. That's a nice idea as it also gives the group projects to do for the charity, so keep a eye out for any needy charities with spare rooms!

I know it's a bit of a drive, but if any of you are interested in going 'cloud', then OpenStack is definitely the way to go. It's an open standard and lets you move providers or even run your own cloud easily.
