Mike, if you're able to find a donated venue elsewhere - or, indeed, if anyone else can - there's no reason a second session can't be arranged if there's enough interest. The volunteer that raised this is based in London so it makes sense to offer the Wikimedia UK office as a space.
It doesn't have to be an either / or proposition.

We can host this at Wikimedia UK to keep costs down.
That's not the only way to keep costs down - please also think about looking for donated venues outside of London! A more central location might mean that more volunteers can attend more easily, and without the expense of traveling into central London.
(I'd be interested in this, but I can't justify the ~£80 it would cost me to attend a day meeting in London).
Well, if WMUK is paying trainers' travel expenses, you have to look at
that as the irreducible cost, don't you?
