OK, so let's pick a couple of dates and then choose the venue depending on who can make the meetings. And I don't think *many* of us would consider ourselves experts, either - although I think there are some ARMazing brains in Bristol, all the same! (Sorry, couldn't resist that.)

How about Wed 12 Oct, Wed 7 Dec?

Speaking of venues...

Not a problem for me, although of course it's not everyone's cup of tea. I popped in once recently to see how big the place is. ISTR it being early evening and the music wasn't loud... but perhaps my memory's playing tricks.

OK - I could walk there. If not, anywhere on a main bus route is good. But I'll happily drive if I have to (and give lifts).

I may get one, but AFAIK they're not taking pre-orders.

I may be on half pints next time, or just half a shandy if I drive!

PS I'm pretty certain I can't make the 8 Oct WAUG meeting now.
