Meeting days are already decided.  Algorithm is approximately as follows
(though doubtless someone will write something in Perl which will
accomplish the same thing):

for day in (Monday Tuesday Wednesday)
venue = (Swansea || Cardiff)
if (Cardiff && Wednesday) then Thursday # I think
not $venue :)

OK, so meetings anywhere in the City Centre are ruled out then :)

Unfortunately, I've yet to find Swansea bus schedules online.  However
http://www.cardiffbus.com/ has saved me many a time.  Maybe someone needs
to politely prod First into publishing some timetables online.

Last time I checked, the UniBus services shuttled to and from the
Quadrant, which still leaves walking through places I'd rather not be
(maybe I'm not the only one), or getting another bus up to the station.
