the swansea one did used to be in the wetherspoons right next door, but
then it shut to be refurbished into an even noisier varation (lloyds
no.1) so we transfered nextdoor to the No Sign, which is nice and quiet,
has no music playing, has far superior food, but costs more as a result.

alas it seems that lately attendance in swansea has dropped off to
practically nothing.

as for cardiff, the meetings did used to be in the coffee shop next
door, personally i prefered there, despite the occasional lack of
seating, but pressure from those that would rather drink ale meant it
moved to the adjacent pub. much earlier versions of the meeting held in
city centre pubs had problems with visiblily and finding seating.
