I was more thinking it may be better for meetings where we want to do
talks, etc,  it would be quieter,  and we can arrange seating as we
want,  around who ever is doing a talk / demo.   Would be handy if say
Gordon was talking about asterisk,

Its just another avenue for the lug,  we could also use such if we
wanted to do troubleshooting etc,  as the shoreline is not really
suitable for bringing desktops and there may not be seafront parking
over the summer anyway.

I think we should stay at the shoreline for the current meeting set up
but having an option does help.

The fact the shoreline could be busier could work to our advantage, I
now put posters up advertising the events so if anyone wants to know
more about free software it invites them to talk to us,
