I have two spare mattresses (not air mattresses) which can go on our
downstairs floor (regularly used without complaint by my brother and my
sister-de-facto when they visit Brisbane). I can probably borrow more
mattresses if need be -- the floor space will take more people.

Unless we are completely overwhelmed with numbers, I'd stick to someone's
house. A LUGnetter house has everything you need:
* fridge for food and drink, plus crockery and cutlery as required
* lots of Lego lying about, plus instructions, catalogues, etc etc
* computer with Internet access all fully configured for use with LUGnet,
Shop@Home, bricklink etc
* any useful odds and end required (rubber bands, pair of tweezers, stapler,
sticky labels)
* covered by householders insurance (for public liability)
* costs nothing
If we have to go with a hall, then we need to consider the issue of cost, and
(a major logistical pain) organising food and drink, including crockery and
means to keep it hot or cold as appropriate.

Personally I like the way we do our BUGS meetings. We have a theme, but
everything is always welcome. I find having a theme focusses me better. Being
told to bring "anything" means I probably bring nothing because I won't make up
my mind. Tell me specifically to bring a castle/spaceship/whatever, and I
probably will (slave to peer pressure that I am).

Wouldn't we have the meeting on the Sunday 9th? I am assuming those in the
Tarrago will want to drive up Saturday and back on Monday? For those with
longer to spend in Brisbane, we can organise some other Lego-related
activities, e.g. shopping expeditions, etc.
