I'd be mad for this, but I'm at a wedding far, far away. Will keep my eyes peeled for future events.

Ben Dalton and I are talking to Leeds Met to try get you OBH as a venue :) Also, if you need sponsors, there're a couple useful PR guys about that might be able to help raise a little money for food, hotels etc

OBH would be a wonderful location!

Sponsorship for teas, coffees for mornings and sarnies for lunch would be great.
