Well I'm at Cardiff Uni, and I know we hire out rooms. The booking 
has to be sponsored by a University department. See:
http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/ests/booking/aboutroombookings.html

Computer Science (www.cs.cf.ac.uk) live in the Trevithick building 
which has two seminar rooms and a large open common room which are 
available to hire. Someone, of course, needs to guess-timate numbers.

Pros: almost certainly adequate space, easy to find (close to shot in 
the dark), comes complete with a pool of potential visitors :-) Also 
my experience is that the rooms arent booked that often so the 
chances of availability are high.

Cons: Price (I don't know what the price is - but there will be one. 
Surely everywhere will charge? How do we pay?)

I hope someone is going to answer some questions rather than just 
posing new ones :-)

See you all next week,
Ian
