rooms, flats etc

[memevector]

I'm about to put in a request about who I share a flat with at BiCon. But I realise I don't know some practical stuff. I know the ordinary flats are 5 people each, but what about the ground floor accessible flats? I'm thinking that wheelchair access must mean a bigger room which would vary the architecture.

Ideally, S. and I want to share with 36 and ippola, and they both need to be on the ground floor this year for mobility reasons. And if we can't be with them then I'll think again about what request to put in. So just wondering what the parameters are around all that.

So, please could someone say how many people in a ground floor flat, and how many of its rooms are accessible and how many ordinary? (or do those flats vary?) And are there sufficiently few people needing them that people can be allocated a place in a ground floor flat without actually being in need of a ground floor room themselves?

Thanks in advance for info...

AFAIR

Ground floor flats consist of rooms for five people, all of which are mobility-impaired accessible.

On each floor above that there are two fiver person flats side by side.

It's a slightly bizarre layout necessitated by the cylindrical architecture.

I can't speak about how many and who are going where. One - I don't know, and Two - it wouldn't be appropriate to talk about other people's arrangements here.

Correction: On re-reading UEL's description from their website, it's possible the accessible flats are only for three people each.

I'll post more information on the BiCon News page about how we are dividing the accomodations as it gets sorted out.

Oops, I meant to post that on the BiCon LJ.
