In addition to this please comment on previous experience you have of events you have attended or hosted in the proposed venues.

Proposed Accommodation:

Details on the range of accommodation options, what your local accommodation rating systems are, an indication of pricing for different options and types would be informative.

A map or chart showing the range and type of accommodation options located in close proximity to proposed venues would also be helpful.
