Shame there isn't a vast budget, as SFX would be a superb place to
advertise. They also have a free to advertise section in the classifieds,
so that's an option.

You could also advertise/put the word out on PBeM sites and ezines. Have
you noticed how this ngroup is attracting more and more PBeM players and
GMs ? Well, surely any advertising is better than none.

Personally I think you need to stick to London. I always have memories of
bigger and better Cons in London.

As I said before, if you were to ask RPG and gaming clubs like the
SouthEast London Warlords and the Guild of Melee and Magic (if they are
still going) then you will not only get well run, interesting and
attractive demonstration games (as you have had in the past), but you
*could* also attract their loyal followers and other non-PBM gamers.
