May I offer the possibility of a location in Bracknell - South Hill Park Atrium Bar (formerly 'Terrace' Bar). (It has nominal wifi which is not good enough yet to advertise). My thoughts are that although the bar itself is ok, and the outside terrace is good too, the whole location - South Hill Park Arts Centre complex (SHP) - is a community resource, at the upper end of the culture scale. So future possibilities may include Ogg Camp or similar events?? The grounds are very pleasant, there is a small cinema (60 seats), the Wilde theatre, parking would normally be easy (builders clogging it up just now) and free. I recently really enjoyed an exceptionally good open air 'As You Like It' by the Globe company. SHP has recently used Lottery funding for work around the exterior, however, local funding past the next three years is in doubt, so there is much blue sky thinking about the future. Historically, SHP was a country house at one time owned I think, by the Ferranti family, and the BBC, and was part of the informal 'Nabobs of Berkshire' culture, where wealthy people with associations with India built grand properties around Berkshire. www.southhillpark.org.uk www.southhillpark.org.uk/478/hire-us/private-functions.html (see 'Gallery' photos) -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
