I am strongly in favour of Manchester for a conference. Oxford and Cambridge are quite annoying to get to from almost anywhere except London. People who haven’t been before might not realise this.
I also worry that this form will mostly reach people in the south of England, since they will be more likely to be signed up to the EA UK newsletter as it has historically mainly catered to London.
I will try to circulate this form with groups and individuals in the North of England, Wales, and Scotland before the deadline.
Also, Oxford and Cambridge are likely going to be more expensive than Manchester, where we could maybe even get a free venue.
I also expect that people voting for Oxford and Cambridge will be more likely to apply and get accepted to EAG London. So they may benefit less from an EAGx than others.
