Hi Gloria

Phase I of the plan ... have you any idea how many people would like to come? Or how many you are comfortable working with each day?

I've been looking into reasonably priced room hire in central London. One place I like is called The Drill Hall http://www.drillhall.co.uk/ which is close to Goodge Street tube station. For the dates you are looking at they can only offer meeting rooms which seat 6-8 people at £12 per hour, so for 1:00-5:00pm on Sat & Sun 5 & 6 Sept that would be a total of £96 (their bigger rooms are fully booked from 2pm at weekends). Maybe that's too small.

We could have up to 10 people at my house for no charge at all! Of course I don't live in central London so that might be a disadvantage ... but might be fun Gloria! I could bake some buns!!! Just a thought. My station (Welling) is on a direct train line to Charing Cross Station (trains from London take about 35 mins and a day ticket is v cheap - £8.10 for the whole weekend's travel!).

Anyway, back to central London venues - there is The Actors Centre (edge of Covent Garden) which has a Vocal & Singing Studio at £19 per hour. I've left a message to check room size and availability and hope they will get back to me soon.

There are meeting rooms at http://www.thespacecentre.com/prices.html close to King's Cross which are more expensive but do include refreshments.

Well, there are some initial thoughts.

Let me know what you think. And of course, any other Londoners on the forum please reply if you are interested in joining in!

Love to all

Chris
