What's all this about a and how does it impact on the meet?

Is somebody going to the bar?

bar?

I thought it was your round, oh Great Lowerer of Tone's

Sure. So. tap water all round?

Speaking of which, there's a bar around here somewhere...

Anyhoo - any idea where the meet would be held *if* there's a decent number of people?

Nope - the pub Legs, MMF & I checked out would be expecting at least twenty, nearer fifty (I was feeling optimistic when we discussed it!)

Going by previous meets, 20 should be attainable, but fifty...

Definites on previous attendee lists:
Summer 2006 - 24
Winter 2006 - 41
Summer 2005 - 37
Winter 2005 - 50

Why isn't this meet getting such a good response?

At this rate we should just be able to squeeze in somwhere without needing a booking

Any students about that could get us unto a nice cheap Student Union bar?

I'm a student, but I don't think I could simply pass off seven others as students - depends where you go and what time. Besides, they're all rubbish noisy places and the beer actually isn't that cheap.

I could suggest my 'local', the Whole Hog in Palmers Green, but it's just a tad far from Central Nodnol.

Don't think I'd pass for a student, somehow.

Anyhow, as far as I remember, a few years ago, it used to be the case that one student, with their NUS card could get into a student bar, max two non-NNuS card holding non-student types

Er, I was joking about the student union bar thing!

Maybe we should canvass opinion about a venue?

Pub.

>> Maybe we should canvass opinion about a venue? <<

You could try. Bear in mind that only 5 people will reply, though.

RF

The five that are already here?

You got it.

Never let it be said that Roymondo wasn't quick on the uptake!

I vote for the Pendrills oak
