I think they probably have tried in the past and failed to get numbers
viable. That is certainly my experience in education courses. If
advertised in London they run, outside quite often they don't. The venue
cost is usually marginal. £50 per head in a hotel including food etc so
compared to say 10 man days organising a venue that then doesn't run its
often not the most important factor.

Ever tried to travel from say Birmingham to Ipswich or Norwich? Try
Carlisle. Its much easier to get to London. Even getting to Cambridge
from here by train means going to London first.
