John, Syleham is totally wheelchair friendly as is the UEA AFAIA but I cant't speak for any other venue. Also ALUG does not discriminate for any reason, we even let Windows users in! Cheers, BJ

Amazingly, UEA is very nearly completely wheelchair accessible. Despite the fact that most of it is accessed from a raised walkway, and the central plaza is mostly steps. Some things you have to go a rather long way around to get to, but the Hive is very easy to get to from the car park. I think the architect must have been from Scotland or somewhere, and missed the mountains. Alexis -- "All programmers are optimists" - Frederick P.

OK, that's two people by my reckoning. Any more? We'll shoot for October? When are people available to shuffle paperwork at UEA after the start of term? Please ignore my nutty idea of a September meeting at UEA. I was just panicking. I do that lots about UEA things just now.
