Friends Meeting House

Due to unexpected price increases from the University of Manchester, the proposed venue for a 2011 Unconvention in Manchester has had to change.

The new venue is a Quaker meeting house, also in the centre of Manchester and in easy reach of similar facilities and activities to the University.

Good luck to all three of our bidders when voting begins!
