    Accoustically, the two smaller rooms we used upstairs at the Windmill were not bad, the stairs were a pain for lugging gear up though. We have lost that venue but something similar on the ground floor might be good, two set ups in each room could be enough to keep things flowing.

    I will keep my eyes and ears open for anything we might want to consider. I know of a church Hall, but alcohol would be a no no and accomodation is no where near. like Ali points out, it's not an easy set of criterion to match, so some compramise may have to be made.

    Steve - The Rugby club below where "Steetleys" used to be has a poster up saying "Free function room" and I believe the other Rugby club on the main coast road north of Hartlepool General Hospital does the same. Could be worth checking these out.

    I wasnt that impressed with the Schooner, but it was ok as a stop gap.

    The electrickery supply voltage was well down and I managed to trip the supply when I first powered up, a couple of the mains outlets behind the stuff for sale were dead and of course the roof leaked and needed a bucket 2 feet from my right speaker if folks hadn't noticed.

    I thought the split level did us no favours and think a smaller flat room would be better. We could rotate maybe four set ups, one in each corner, or maybe as was suggested, set up as an island in the middle with speakers firing outwards towards the walls or corners and us moving round the island to each set up?

    This arangement might give a bit of bass reinforcement and make up for trying to fill a larger space than our gear is designed for. There were several large boxes/drivers at the last session which struggled, mine included. I would like to think that the venue would allow people with smaller stand mounts not be put off from bringing their gear and being able to put on a good show.

    Its very challenging but I still think its worth having a look at what else is available.
