Well spaw, it has always been my feeling that special events are better located in a separate room and there is nothing stopping this happening. This could be done by agreeing a name for a room and using the option you suggested or a slight change to the HTML could be made to create a separte "function room" that could be "booked".To clarify my previous posts, the fact that I personally do not object to the above proposals does not mean that I do not feel that a separate location would avoid any potential conflicts and may therefore be more appropriate.
