It's free because we're a community group who doesn't charge for<br>
membership or meetings. They also seem keen to have us as part of their<br>
community.<br>
<br>

Duke St pay and display bays are free after 6pm as are many others<br>
nearby. There's also a Q Park multi-storey next door by the Novotel.<br>
I've no idea how expensive it is but that's open 24hrs.<br>
<br>
> Pubs nearby?<br>
<br>
Yep there's a good one on the corner of Duke St and Hannover St right<br>
below DoES. It's called The Hub and while it looks pricey from outside<br>
it actually turns out to be cheaper than Shipping Forecast for drinks. I<br>
checked that personally hehe. Most of the groups in DoES use it after<br>
meetings or events. It's also not that far from the Shipping Forecast,<br>
only 5 minutes walk. So there's nothing to stop us continuing to go<br>
there if people prefer.<br>

To an extent it is but we didn't always meet in LSC anyway. LivLUG<br>
starting in around 2002-03 and originally met in the offices of Blue<br>
Fountain at the Liver Buildings. We've met in many other locations<br>
since. It was at FACT when I joined in 2008. We've been at LSC since<br>
about 2010 so it probably is the longest serving venue that's for sure.<br>
><br>
> Is a place at DoES available?<br>
<br>
Yep, I also get the feeling they've been keeping the first Weds of the<br>
month free in the hope we'd eventually join. The organisers did ask me<br>
about it 2 or 3 years ago when DoES opened.<br>
<br>
> Will meetings remain on a first Wednesday of the month?<br>
<br>
Yep. See previous answer.<br>
<br>
> Does Sonic the Hedgehog ever feel blue?<br>
<br>
I dunno, I was always more of a Nintendo kid but I can tell you Mario<br>
never feels blue ;-)<br>
<br>
Perhaps we should discuss it next month as Will suggested. I just<br>
thought it may be easier to do that on the list rather than in the venue<br>
we're talking about leaving. That could be awkward.<br>
<br>
For what it's worth I don't think LSC will be that bothered. At the<br>
moment they seem to feel they're doing us a favour and usually someone<br>
has to come down specifically to open up for us. I suspect they won't<br>
miss that part. The computer support arrangement we had has fallen by<br>
the way side. I do want to make clear to them if we move that we'll<br>
still happily help them out with technical stuff. Speaking for myself<br>
that is at least.<br>
<br>
In the past 5 years we've set up those computers they use, one of which<br>
is always unplugged, and I've been called down once on a Saturday to fix<br>
a printer. That's it. They either don't have any technical problems or<br>
don't feel they can ask us.<br>
<br>
Right, another rambling email must end. Any more thoughts on all this<br>
anyone?<br>
<br>
