[sclug] Which pub for SCLUG

[Mark De Souza-Wilson]

Stuart

According to the poll of your own Twitter followers, some 36% voted for
Back of Beyond.  Has any other single venue received as much interest?

What will be achieved by getting a ranking of your four personal
choices, most of which are possibly unsuitable for reasons previously
shared?

I intend to send out an unbiased survey shortly, so that SCLUG members
can can indicate which venues they feel would meet the needs of the
group.  I'm keen to achieve the right result for the group, and to
separate the choice of venue from political feelings linked to the 2016
Brexit Referendum.
