Balliol is just for accommodation and social spaces. People from the OII are going to get in contact with its master imminently to see how they could help. We will however need at least one other college for accommodation though, which the OII is also investigating for us. A £50 per person per night figure sounds like the upper bound at the moment (fingers crossed).

I am using 700 as our guideline figure for attendance, so on that basis the town hall would be just about big enough. The alternative, as I’ve mentioned before, is either Town Hall + Exam Schools or Sheldonian + Exam Schools.

Could something just be clarified here: would Balliol College be used for accommodation? The thing is, it's really far too small for the conference itself - the largest capacity they hold is 90 - we need 500 at least.

What are we hoping to use for the conference itself? The town hall?
