[Bru-list] Meeting dates 2012

[Trevor Johnson]

> Although it's too late for January, I'm wondering if 2nd Wednesday every

> - 2 days ago (we could always proceed with the 08 Feb to make up for it).
> - 14 March
> - 09 May (slightly less than two weeks after Wakefield)
> - 11 July
> - 12 September
> - 14 November (just over two weeks after London)

Those present at the 08 Feb meeting last week generally thought we should stick to the 
above. It should mean we don't need to waste time discussing dates in advance.

Of course, there are people who've previously attended in person and/or posted on this 
list, who weren't able to voice their opinions at last week's meeting. Therefore, it'd 
be good if others could please share their thoughts (either agree/disagree/indifferent).

As for location, the Hope & Anchor in Bristol is the third venue we've tried. Those 
present last week also thought we should stick there. Some reasons for this are:
- Reasonable beer selection
- More intimate than larger pubs, also no sports channel on while we were there (did 
they even have a TV - possibly not?)
- Free on-street parking after 6pm (that is, unless Vince reports otherwise)
- Town centre(-ish) location

Some disadvantages are:
- No power points in main bar area, but staff offered use of one behind the bar if 
that'd help
- A bit of a walk from Bristol Temple Meads station (more so than The King William) at 
around 35 mins

Therefore, the next meeting is proposed as follows:

- Wed 14 Mar 2012
- Time: 19:15 for 19:30 
- Venue: The Hope & Anchor, 38 Jacobs Wells Road, Bristol, BS8 1DR 
(Hotwells)

Subject to further comments, hopefully we can settle down to a regular clearly defined 
arrangement for 2012.

Finally, lurkers on this list, hopefully you'll make it to one of our meetings this 
year! Thanks for reading.
