This BSP is provisional. Please do not book travel or accomodation on the basis of information on this page.
Total capacity is probably seven plus hosts. We might squeeze in one or two more if you really want to come.

Note: There are honey bees at the bottom of the garden, but far enough away not to disturb us. By October they will be tucked up for the winter anyway. If you are allergic to stings, please make sure someone at the BSP is aware.

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 (nearest <100m).
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 (guide: £40/£55) is basic and just a few doors down the street and The Globe (guide: £55/£75) is nicer but pricier and about five minutes walk away.
We don't really have room to accommodate anyone in the house, unless you are particularly fond of concrete. If you'll struggle with the cost of a room at the Swan, please mail jmw@debian.org and we'll discuss sponsorship - and please do this rather than not come!
Use of basic kitchen, or good food is available a stone's throw away.
If the weather is nice outside working is a possibility.
