That's good how you have actual prices etc. I think it might be a good idea to pool and come up with some sort of standard greeting for these people explaining what we want and so on so we're all on the same hymn sheet, or all looking at the same edit box if you like :) (though of course that would cause an edit conflict!)

There are good options in the University of Manchester, including the
impressive University Place [1], which is under construction, but
already booking up fast. University Place is being set up for bigger
conferences (over 500 delegates), so it might be possible to do this
within one of the smaller venue combinations, however Wikimania in the
UK is likely to attract a lot of interest from academia in particular.
I've posted details on the Meta page [2].

Cheers,
