Possible competition for Yorkshire in the future? (interest needed)

UPDATE!: I have just spoken to someone from the Leeds uni conference room, and it sounds like sport's rooms will be the only kind to be suitable as the Uni conference rooms won't do. I am now waiting on a list of possible rooms and the person is even going to look at some the venues that past UK events have taken place at on the WCA to get a good feel for it, which will help a lot. Hopefully we will actually get some where with this now! =D

It would probably be in late March but I'll have to make some more phone calls first to try and finally get some possible rooms down so hopefully by the end of this week we would have a possible venue, so sorry if this is taking a while but these things do take time to plan after all.

UPDATE: I am now looking into having the event at a hotel, as rooms for both the Leeds uni and the Leeds union are way to costly being £500 a day at the cheapest. I am going to give the park plaza in central Leeds a call on Monday, since their events and conference team won't be in until then, I am looking into The Queens hotel also in the city centre so hopefully we will have some luck there.
 
UPDATE! The Park Plaza hotel actually ended up be the most expensive by far costing as much as £2500 for a single day, I have sent an email to the Hilton City Hotel today where the past Leeds event took place at, so hopefully this search can finally end there.
 
Just realised that's only for South East but there are probably similar sites for you neck of the the woods.

You could always try contacting the local councils. I think they have reasonably priced venues and also try other schools in the area.

Actually it is for the whole country but so far there isn't a reply and the ringing goes on none stop not allowing me to leave a message. I think I will just phone the council up, and yeah I'll see what schools there are as well though I doubt even secondary schools a try since it would be worth it for a big enough hall, like Charlie Cooper used for the 2009 UK Cube Masters Open event.
 
Right now I am actually currently looking at the Leeds conference site, and with 32 different buildings I'd be surprised if I still can't find a cheap enough venue. I have just left them a message now for hopefully it can be at long last guarantied progress! :)

I am currently pinning my hopes on the international room in the leeds club building in the city centre LS1 postal area, as the size, lighting seem very ideal along with your casual conference style chairs so hiopefully that is cheap enough and if not then I'll try Allerton Grange out.
