I've spelt it the same as my Math's teachers name
[that rhymes as well]. I've been to Hoghton Tower in the past hence my confusion. Worth a visit if you are in the area. It's claimed that Shakespeare lived there as a young man at a point where he disappeared for a while-possibly to escape religious persecution. "Houghton" appears to have Norfolk connections. What do you have in mind re a "down south" venue Rob? Everywhere is North of Cornwall. Are you thinking North or South of London for example, which already has events, BVWS and others or maybe in the South West?
