- Location (city/town name)
- Name of bidder(s)
- Notes - include venue(s) being researched

- Gavin Pearce @ 3seven9
- With the Olympics ruling out the S.E. for the 2012 WordCamp, I felt the S.E should be given its chance this year (after all, a large majority of us do live here ;). Windsor is the perfect location, a very pretty town, plenty of culture and history, lots to see and do, outside of London yet close enough if people from the city want to attend, and still within 5 - 20 minutes of the M3, M4, M25, M40 - so easy access for all.
