The biggest issue for EMF is to find a good site. Here are our requirements, in order of priority:

At least 3-8 hectares/8-15 acres/0.03-0.06 sq km (this should fit at least 1500 people but this isn't indicative of our planned capacity)
Good access for setup vehicles (no low bridges, for example)
Ability to get a good internet connection (1 gigabit+) (but please let us know of any potential sites and we can work this out)
Pleasant enough you actually want to spend time there
Good transport links
Near largish shops (e.g. large Tesco)
Some kind of water supply/sewage connection
Well drained
Space for parking

We don't care about:

Existing electricity supply (it's probably more hassle than providing it ourselves)
