[LRUG] London RoR Conference, July '09 ?

[Mark Coleman]

I had originally thought of Ashford - the travel links are pretty  
good, and there are lots of things to do in Kent. But I got a few  
quotes from some conference venues, and they were pretty much  
identical. I figure that prices being equal, London would attract more  
delegates, but I am going to do a bit more checking soon. Universities  
tend to have cheap conference facilities out out term time, for example.
