The CGI of BCFT tells me that he is still looking for an alternative venue.
But having already looked at a great many, I do not hold out much hope. The hotels will not commit to long term bookings because they want to remain free for the conference seasons. The Colleges will not commit to long term bookings because they have no permanently spare capacity. The sports clubs will not commit long term because they want to remain free for the football, cricket or whatever else they do seasons.
If however a suitable venure is found, EPTA will not object even if it is a BCFT classroom, provided all local students have equal access to it.
If however BCFT ever come around to agreeing to the EPTA classroom, the CAA would probably be quite happy to give it a go. It could probably happen in January, which is the next time our students go to the exams.
