To the best of our knowledge it is.

We've added some details to http://rubymanor.org/3/location.html which is
now linked to off the main page.

The venue says it's fully accessible and DDA compliant, and we've linked to
the bits on the University website where they explain that.  I've also
written down some more specifics about the room (from memory) that might
help.

Is there anything else we should mention?
