I prefer Oxford, for the opposite reason to that implied: I don't think 
I can stand another intercontinental trip in this already busy year! I 
can also help save a bit of money if someone (e.g. Hugh or Elli or both) 
don't mind commuting instead of staying at Wolfson or wherever. (Otoh, I 
could save even more money if we go to the US by Skyping in instead of 
attending in person. :-) )

September would be impossible for me, with trips to Bulgaria, Spain and 
Italy already lined up. Later October or November currently seem fine 
(although may clash with teaching).

As a meeting venue it seemed fine, yes. A bit of a trek from the train 
station for those of us commuting, but that's not a dealbreaker. (And 
was an excuse to be lazy and take a cab!)
