AlanCurragh Posted 15 November , 2009 Author Share Posted 15 November , 2009 Last weekend, we went up to Birmingham to visit the venue. I must say, I think it will prove to be an ideal choice - easy access and parking, a good sized and equipped hall, room for display and retail stalls, and capable of taking up to 200 or so people in comfort The function/catering manager impressed us too with his professionalism - they are happy to accommodate whatever requirements we have. Hopefully the first of many forum conferences - pleaae let me know if you want to attend Thanks Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
