<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>What about a Barcamp style of event, where each member can bring a topic to discuss for around 10 minutes at the table, followed by 5 - 10 minutes to answer questions (see attachment)<br>
<br></div>Attendees can be notified of the subject(s) beforehand, and the Just A Minute! will need someone to time the speakers, along with an appropriate sound (so a whistle, air horn app on phone or countdown timer with alarm)<br>
<br></div>As for not finding people (mentioned by the Carmarthen thread), ask the bar staff to direct anyone who says the word Linux to your table(s), and if you're the first to arrive, hand them a bit of paper with the table number(s) and LINUX written on them and explain that they may get asked about the word written at the top, so send them your way<br>
<br></div>Hope this helps<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 22 May 2014 22:45, Clifford Perry <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:coperry94@gmail.com" target="_blank">coperry94@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

In general for me, even though Cardiff is the closest location, I'm not a big pub person, I prefer quieter places for talking, vs shouting over background noise. Additionally Tuesday night isn't a great night for me, then add travel to/from Cardiff to make the meeting. <br>
<br></div>I love more structured meetings, but other than the recent Saturday meetup in Cardiff, I've never made it to a regular meeting, so I don't know how they go typically. I enjoyed the Saturday presentation event.<br>

</div>Abergavenny would be doable for me, depending on the day.<br>
<br>
Talybont is off the railway, so not really an evening option for me, or<br>
I suspect many Cardiff/Newport people.<br>
