We have used Cardiff University before for regular LUG meetings.

The experiences we've had at Cardiff Uni before have all been good, but
we did occsionally get put in some quite small rooms. I don't think we
ever had any Cardiff university students turn up at LUG meetings when we
held them there, but I don't think we really advertised it either.

Rob organised one of the first Cardiff meetings if I remember correctly,
so he may know the price.
