Obviously I will suggest London, but I guess it is a non-starter. The
obvious venue would be Skills Matter's CodeNode, but the cost of
accommodation in London is horrifying, and commuting is a non-starter.
Well except for me.

There are venues such as Coventry, the Techno Park has a great venue
for up to about 200 people and fairly cheap and very local
accommodation. (PyConUK has been using this venue for the last few
years very successfully, it has only moved to Cardiff for a change and
because of the problem of outgrowing the venue.)  

I have done the Gatwick → Dublin → (Gatwick | Birmingham) a few times,
but on expenses so used taxis from Dublin airport to either Pearse
Street or E Wall Road – the hotels shall remain nameless.

What venue would be used in Dublin? I guess we could ask the PyConIE
folk what they do, one of the hotels I think.
