    IRC could be worth a go but textual forms can be confusing. I
    teach/lecture a lot in both voice and textual form and it takes
    tighter control for text. Not impossible but has its problems.<br>

    Quite agree there. You have a point. I know we tried some forms but
    the scale is the key, some of them failed when more came in. I will
    take a look at that tech, what did you think of it?<br>

    Yes we do have high requirements. When I can get my act together at
    work we can make use of those offices with lots of room, although
    lacking projector. <br>

        <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Yes it's a struggle at
          the moment finding venues that are free. Dan is looking at one
          for me, I had thought Maidstone Library were out of the
          running but suddenly I've heard from them after a month or so
          and they can now do it for free I think. They want me to visit
          to discuss but seeing I'm in east Kent and they wanted to do
          this during the working week that is not going to happen. I
          need to sort out one Saturday instead to go up to see them so
          that may be in the next month or so as I don't tend to go that
          part of the county often.<br>
          <br>
          Other than that no other venue options so no meets can be
          planned until we have some. :-(<br>
          <br>
          Will keep my ear to the ground. Hopefully might get a chance
          to network over this weekend as I'm mentoring for work's EPIK
          coding weekend so if I can find any other locations then I
          will give them a go.<br>
