For my part,  yes,  or at least a hotel somewhere in the country with a camp site
nearby.  If we have to start adding the cost of a couple of nights hotel
accommodation we a starting to arrive at big bills.  A hotel big enough to put on
a convention,  even if it's only a token one,  is not going to be cheap.  I'm not
sure how open to the idea of rock concerts that sort of hotel would be either!

Oh dear,  that doesn't sound very positive,  sorry!!
