This BSP is not even provisional yet, it is merely conjecture. Please do not book travel or accomodation on the basis of information on this page.

Total capacity is probably seven plus hosts.

Transport

  • By car: easy access from M42, M40, M5, M1, A46. Free public car park is available in the same street. Some on-street parking at the venue but it is busy; other free car parks a short walk away.
  • By train: nearest stations are Redditch (from Birmingham New Street) and Stratford-upon-Avon (from Birmingham Moor Street, Marylebone/Paddington and connections from Warwick and Leamington Spa). Buses from Redditch are reasonable; from Stratford are infrequent. Lifts can be arranged, both stations are about 20 minutes by car so group collections are preferable.

Accomodation

Two good hotels/B&Bs are nearby: The Swan is basic and just a few doors down the street and The Globe is nicer but pricier and about five minutes walk away.

Tents could be pitched in the garden which is large. There is floor space (currently concrete & carpet) for two or three sleeping bags at the venue if you are desperate, but it's a last resort.

Use of basic kitchen, or good food is available a stone's throw away.

If the weather is nice outside working is a possibility.

Resources

There is plenty of power. Internet connectivity is 6Mb ADSL with wireless access only (wired could be arranged, but it's awkward). There is no local mirror; if one can be supplied by an attendee it would be helpful.

Bring

Please consider bringing the following items:

  • computers
  • tardis
