Well first off, no-one will be sticking their necks out - I think the reason
why the suggestion whimpered away the first time is because everyone was afraid
of stepping on each otheres toes. So this time the main announcement will
contain a few alternatives (with the UK in there, if we can get some info!),
that people can choose from.. and invite other people or groups to
suggest/organise their own location.

Depends what you mean by expensive, and what you mean by London.. and where you
go :) I've stayed in some (non-grotty) pretty accessible London hotels cheaply,
so I guess that's where the scouting comes in!

I would have to agree with Richard, London is not that expensive. I live on the east London Essex border and know of two local caravan and camping sites as well as a couple of B&B's plus there are plenty of halls that can be had. Regards, Jason (27 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)
