The room that we will be using is off the main part of the hall and is already set up for computer training. There are about 20 stations set up (that is keyboard and monitor) so plenty of chairs. I have suggested that we will not need to use the computers there at all as we will be bringing our own laptops. There are plenty of spare power sockets. Also off the main hall there is a kitchen and also toilets. (There is a bar area as well, but that will be closed.) It is very well appointed really. I had not thought about presentations, but the main hall has a drop down screen and speakers, used for showing films once a fortnight. So any presentations should not be a problem.
