Well, here's what I found, for plain wooden tables:
Homebase: £7-39
Wickes: £6-79
Great Mills: £6-99
Don't have a B&Q. The Great Mills ones looked the best constructed of the
three. I haven't got any myself, but I know a few people who will have, so
I'll borrow theirs and save my money for Lego :)

Thinking about it, this might be a little large for any one room.
Personally, I'd prefer to have doubled tables and concentric circuits, on
separate controllers, anyway. Then Huw can potter around while the rest of
us hold races. :) We could just improvise on the day, or do you want to do
a track plan? I'm afraid I can't get in again to measure up until the Fort
re-opens in Easter.
