i'd be up for it, although i think as ste said yesterday UKTA aint what it used to be, or at least london TA isn't, there's too many peeps with better things to do now unfortunately
I very much doubt this will happen. There aren't enough people who post regularly here to fill a club unfortunately.

if you did it you would probably have to let randoms in as well as people from TA, although a lot of venues can be hired for your own purposes especially in weekdays. even Zero can be hired for private functions i think!

i can't imagine anywhere with a capacity of 250 or less charging much more than 50 quid as long as it's booked well in advance, ie. looking ahead at least 4-6 months
Not that'll be going (too far to travel). But you recon £50 for a club? Seriously, even for 250- it seems cheap?
I dunno I've not got experiance actaully doing it but I thought about making a night with a mate and £50 wouldn't cover the bouncers (normally required) nevermind the bar staff never mind the actual hiring (though maybe thats all you ment, but if you take a certain amount at the bar then you get it gratis normally £500-£800 over the bar I belive).

if you find a venue that is normally shut on a particular date or only used for private functions is is a lot cheaper, or if you do book miles in advance (which you should be doing anyway).
even so, 300 quid ain't a lot of money, you only need 100 people through the door paying 3 quid, which is pretty acceptable on a weekend if its close enough to city centre, plus you are all rich bastards down south anyway lol.
bouncers are generally hired through an agency to protect the bar + staff, and would be covered through the bar, not you paying for them. also the bar would more than likely offer free drinks which you could subtract from the booking amount.
i could get somewhere in newcastle for next to 0 or next to 0, but how many people would be prepared to travel up here...
