There are at least 6 other 'mancs' not mentioned as well - unless thay have PM'd directly.

Out of interest, when looking for a venue for an 'England wide' event we decided on Stratford on Avon and it worked well. Lots of Accom. as well. Not as good for the Scottish contingent though. I would, of course, recommend Manchester as being the centre of the universe if we want to count everybody;-)
