As everyone's up for a Wakefield LEM, I defer to Jem unless people would like another meeting in between.
If you would then let me know with some date suggestions so it doesn't clash with either Wakefield or Surfleet.
I just got offered the Scout Hall at Bradway Primary School - the one in the pics in the other thread for £10 deposit + £7 per hour which seems a pretty good rate plus the weekends are available.
I'd probably propose a 1 day event initially as a trial.
This is the proposed Sheffield venue - approx 15-20 foot ceilings. There's an adult on the left of the picture for scale and the centre of the roof is just out of shot. To give you an idea of size, there are 2 full size badmington courts marked out inside:
This is the site. The green cross is the building we'd have.
The red cross is the caretakers house next to the car park.
The entire site is surrounded by a 6ft security fence in good order (no holes) and theres a second inner 6ft fence which the hall entrance itself sits inside.
Its in a good low crime area anyway.
I see no reason why we couldn't use the school fields as its all part of the same site although I'd have to check.
