Thanks for the info. Does the University accommodation seem
appropriate then? At £43 a night it's the cheapest non-hostel place
we've found.

I guess what we'd do is reserve 30 to 40 rooms there for travel
committee bookings and leave the rest up to the travel committee?

I've found a video tour of the uni accommodation here, you just have
to imagine that it's empty :-)
