Sorry for the delay. I got an "out of office" reply from the guy at St.
John's that I'd been dealing with, so I contacted them by 'phone and it
seems that they can't do 100 people seated at tables. A bit of a
misunderstanding between them and Conference Cambridge it seems, so I
guess that rules them out of the running meeting room-wise although we
might still want to use them for accommodation,

Steve.
