Usually there is a charge for connecting to a WiFi access point in a commercial premises - any idea how much? I thought the Brit was a bit of a noisy place? If you would like a meeting there, go ahead - book it with the venue (if necessary), the LUG funds can be used where appropriate (if Simon or I cannot attend, we'll reimburse you at whichever meeting we next meet) and just put up the usual notices on the website via the Members Area and Wiki. We have had meetings in pubs before - it depends what you want from the meeting. Problem-solving meetings need an internet connection and to be able to hear each other. Social meetings generally don't bother with laptops or internet connections and therefore a noisier venue is less of an issue. I don't think anyone minds what meetings we have as long as there is a wide variety of locations and sufficient interest. BTW. this is not off-topic. Anything to do with LUG meetings is very definitely on-topic. The LUG needs to encourage meetings at all levels and of all types - it is the weakest part of the overall LUG and has been for some time, for geographical reasons mainly. -- Well I was just thinking of an informal social drink & chat. The Brittania is an idea actually. The difference made by the smoking ban has helped as regard noise level. Unless Argyle has a match on ;) It also has a perosnal advantage in that it's onlt a 10 minute walk from where I live.
