Hi, hope you can help. We run a training company that does open courses, NEBOSH Cert, IOSH MS etc. I am looking to spread away from our Midlands base to two others, Reading and York are my preffered locations. As I do not know the areas it is difficult to shortlist quality affordable venues. If any of you have used good venues or could recommend training venues that would be great, I know I can pay £40 per day delegate rate but that just puts the course price up, which I want to avoid. Thanking you in advance.

At Leonard Cheshire we used the Bar Convent in York (it's not a hotel or pub, it is actually a Convent) for our regional team meetings. It's about 10 minutes walk from the station (5 for me but I walk very fast) and has fantastic home made biscuits, as well as being a very beautiful building. I don't know how much it costs, but can't imagine its too steep as LC is a Charity and our region didn't have a great deal of dosh to throw around. Their number is 01904 643 238 and a quick search under york convents threw up their website, have alook,

Hi John,
I have used the Priory Centre in York for conferences and they were very reasonable, well equiped and also good disabled access and close to the station.

Try Beechwood hotel on A19 - in yellow pages, I do a lot of training there and they really look after you.

Haven't used the Priory centre, we used the Beechwood to good effect, they are good, but for the bigger meetings (when the whole team, c 30 people was present) they didn't have the room, so we alternated with them and the Bar Convent,

Again thanks for the feedback. I am in York for a conference in October so will detour via the beechwood to have a look. The room rate seems remarkably low, or is it per head? Are the buffets ok? Quality of buffets are the bain of my life!!
Thanks
John
