I think the key thing for that would be setting a date early and making
sure it was publicised far and wide.

Certainly sounds like a plan to me, though getting enough talks lined up
for two tracks to run all day would probably require some drum beating and
perhaps a little press-ganging...

I'd definitely be in favour of having some space with tables and chairs
set aside for working on PCs rather than just the comfy chairs in the
lobby area as we had last time.

Dates and schedules permitting I'd certainly be interested yes.

lug.org.uk provides a list of LUGS with contact information, specifically
for the South East try:
http://lug.org.uk/lugs/south-east
Though I don't know how up to date it is. As an alternative you might want
to consider posting to the LUG Masters mailing list, they could do with a
new flame-war (we haven't had one there for a while:)
