Just to reassure you I haven't done a moonlight flit.

I'm still waiting for the T's&C's from Bob Adams (they guy, you know?). As I said, the cost will be negotiated based on the fact that it's a non-profit event and it's for the whole weekend.

Bob tells me that the rate for weddings and other single evening events is GBP 8 per hour for the building and services. He will reduce this (a lot) for the reasons I've said above, and because he's a folky too (cue for the old Mudcat handshake thread here)

I'll get advice on a bar, certainly we've got a local brewery (well, Northampton) who's very accommodating as well. Similarly, the kitchens are available for our use, so I anticipate being able to throw together some uneatable slop to persuade people into the excellent local hostelries ;-)

Keep the thoughts coming, folks! The more the merrier!
