    Currently in discussions with contacts at the Faculty of Law for looking at booking the 1st and 8th March 2025 provisionally. This would be based on 3 ground floor lecture theatres, some space for coffee/lunch to be served and potentially 1-2 seminar rooms for quite space/contribution rooms.

    They have sent back their charges for the Faculty and I have been in talks with the Head of Communications at the Office of External Affairs and Communications at the University of Cambridge who has expressed interest in supporting the event. I will be continuing conversations as to whether we will be able to get the discounted charges from the Faculty of Law or subsidised costings so that we can take that forward within the financial planning. Without discounts we are looking at roughly a minimum of around £3,500 for the hiring of the above for the day. I will also confirm as to in what capacity the University of Cambridge would be putting their name behind the event if it is to go ahead.

    We are likely to have to still consider additional charges like paying for the cost of a member of the Faculty's Computer Officer team to be on hand for AV support due to this being out of normal working hours.
