<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>Abergavenny or Newport area would potentially work
for me. 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>

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>

Weekends would work better for me as I work in Bath. However, I will
get to a weekday meet-up if physically possible. :-)<br>
<br>
No preference on venue type as both work for me, but the Talks at
the Founder's Hub were really enjoyable!<br>
