If this is about the Hofstadter book, I have a copy I no longer need. (A few 
pounds would be nice, but not essential.)

About a possible meeting-place in Swansea, you (or I, but I can hardly ever 
get to meetings anyway) might glance at the Heyokah in Humphrey St just off 
Walter Road. It's a bit further from the station than the Goose, but parking 
isn't difficult in the evening. They have good (if a bit too organic) food, 
a meeting-room that costs 5lb an hour (perhaps that's too much?), and seem 
pretty friendly. It's not licensed, so there's no age problem, but it might 
depress people who are gasping for a drink.

Is there any possibility that someone might set up some kind of noticeboard 
for selling/exchanging old hardware? It would need a separate list, to avoid 
clogging up Discuss. It would be nice to have a place where deals could be 
done without giving credit card numbers & perhaps even without postal costs.
