Location, Location, Location!

The question remains...
Where will we hold our first foodie meet-up?
It has been suggested (and agreed upon) that we rotate our venues as much as possible.
That way we can appeal to more entrants and it will not be the same people each time having to travel great distances. With so many of us relying on public transport long-distance travel may be a turn-off.
To make the events family friendly it has also been suggested we sometimes find parks as well as houses (If anyone wouldn't mind hosting please let us know.)

Where possible recipes that can be prepared in advance are preferred. If you do need to cook on location a courtesy message to the hosts would be appreciated so the host can work out an oven-share schedule. (Perhaps we can also work out something with other local people to use their ovens & drive to main location for the event)

Do you have a great idea for where we can hold our first event?
