What is the chance of being able to do something like this in Paignton,
perhaps at the lighthouse where the linux user group are going to be
holding meetings soon.

the lighthouse has PA systems, stages,  etc, should have internet access
shortly,  and should have food available, it is also a non alcohol venue
as its primerally a music venue for young people,
