talking to today. They said the only place that could
handle 400-500
delegates is the Reynolds Building, which is on Sackville Street, not
They did also suggest that Fallowfield Road is a
possibility, although
it was described to me as "being a bit run-down" :-). I'm consulting
FYI, I've been to one conference using the Reynolds building - annual OUSA
conference - and we used accommodation a very short walk away. Good
facilities generally, although quality of the food in their refectory left
something to be desired I felt!
I've also used the student halls at Fallowfield twice for a convention
(last year and in 2000, iirc). Good on the rooms and break-out facilities
(and, tbh, it isn't as bad as "run-down" suggests) though I don't
recall
any space large enough for 400-500 at a time, but that might just be
because we only needed a space for 200 or so. Fallowfield could easily
accomodate any number who might turn up though and both those uses were
rooms for seven days at the flat rate
