[Liverpool] Potential Venue Change For Future Meetings

[animation animation]

Hi,

Do you know how much the room is to hire? Some months are not that well
attended.

Parking nearby?

Pubs nearby?

End of an era?

Is a place at DoES available?

Will meetings remain on a first Wednesday of the month?

Does Sonic the Hedgehog ever feel blue?
