The curse of Sedgwick may require a move from the planned meeting room. Those in Manchester hopeful of finding a new site.

Only 298 responses does not make inspiring reading. It would be interesting to ask everyone else (well, yes, they probably wouldn't answer...) why they didn't answer.

A) We don't care
B) Nobody will listen to us anyway
C) Other, please specify
C) I had two teams playing in the European Club Cup so my focus was on that event.

We have found a new venue

The venue was doing our fire alarm test as we have moved venues to our new office and I only found out the fire test was today and really really sorry
