I must have missed you by a fraction at the Ropewalks, when Richard and I got there the door was open but the barmaid was kicking everyone out. Didn't see any Luggers there. Good job you sent me a txt or I'd have been lost. The Welkin seems a decent pub but it might be good to try and find something nearer to the venue if we can. I'll have a think. Problem is a lot of the pubs around Bold St are either really small or not suitable. I went to Tabac at the top of Bold St with the Script Frenzy group a couple of weeks ago and it was great. There were about 8 of us. Not exactly a pub but very comfortable and it was quiet, they even had cake and a nice area with a big projector screen. I don't know how they'd feel about 15 geeks turning up but I reckon they'd be fine. As long as you're buying drinks they don't care... unless it's the Ropewalks of course :)<br>
<br>It's only just up the road from LSC and FACT. Just a thought. Might not be suitable I dunno<br><br>Dan<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 9:18 AM, Andrew Williams <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andy@tensixtyone.com">andy@tensixtyone.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

so far :)<br>
<br>
Me, Jo, Andy and Simon all got into the Ropewalks quite early in the evening, we noticed the bar maid was<br>
a little stressed due to drunks but we managed to stay there for a while. At 7:30ish me and Jo wandered<br>
over to check if any stragglers had gone LSC, only to be greeted by another group who were using the<br>
space. At 8pm the Ropewalks turfed us out...<br>
<br>
Anyway, we eneded up in the Welkin (Wetherspoons) and stayed there for the rest of the night. We suspect<br>
the Ropewalks has changed to old management and they're shutting at 8pm again as usual.<br>
<br>
I'm currently talking with LSC to see what happened to the booking, and I think the Welkin will serve well<br>
as a after meeting pub, unless anyone else has any suggestions.<br>
