Sigmatel as a "base" just seems to make sense - it's free (and flexible, as many of us are still there, so we don't need to be tied down to meeting rooms/times/etc), the nearest hotel is good value (though there are plenty of others walkable if people want to get something more upmarket), and it's close to pubs & food places.

Also, I can see Chilford hall getting upset if Patrick starts blowing bits of it up
