Unintentional discrimination is, regrettably, the most common type,
but this is now way off-topic for this list so I'll stop there.

As I intimated earlier in the thread, the venue is not accessible to
me due to a lack of public transport and an unwillingness to risk
cycling along these roads late at night.

If those members who attend decide to move the venue back into the
town then I will be glad and pleased to attend whenever my work
schedule allows.

You didn't address my question asking if the venue change should have
been discussed with the members.

I look forward to reading the after-meeting report, which will
hopefully include details of the discussion about this subject.

I hope everyone who attends has a good time.

Regards,

Carl
