Paul Foster gives the address on his web-site as: "The William Penny Theatre, Awe, Tadley, Hants, but I'm looking for the post code to that address, so I can enter it into my SatNav to help me find the venue.

I have tried a Google search under the theatres name, but drew a blank.

Does anyone know, or can give me the post-code to this venue please? Many thanks for any pointers.

Hi Ian,
I went to the Tadley convention in 1995, and I used my GPS to find the place. Even with that it took me a while to locate it in the village of Tadley. Anway the William Penny Theater is located within the Aldermaston Atomic Energy Research Center. You need to look for the entrance to the AWE Social Club Center which is on the left as you head south through Tadley on the A340 (take exit 12 off the M4 to the A4 south, then bear leftafter about 8 miles onto the A340 thru Aldermaston then onto Tadley. If you drive thru the village in a southerly direction you have gone toofar. The entrance is on the north side of the village, on a section of dual carriageway, on the left heading south.
The Tadley Convention, organized by Geoff Wheeler, is very laid back and friendly, I really enjoyed it a lot.
While you are enjoying the films at Tadley, try not to think about the nuclear weapons a couple of hundred yards away! [Eek!]
