[Liverpool] Failure of the May Meeting

[Dan Lynch]

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 :)

It's only just up the road from LSC and FACT. Just a thought. Might not be
suitable I dunno
