Did you ever hear anything back from them ?

As far as I am concerned - the location is good; it is closer to where I live
than the current pub.

I do, however, think that it will take more than WIFI to rebuild the group.
Suggestions:

* venue - Alan is trying to do something about this
  + wifi
  + private room - this might be useful if, on occasion, someone wants to make a presentation.
    I have my own data projector that I would be willing to bring - point it at
    a wall.

* mail list
  It has little traffic

* Project. A good project could be interesting
  Maybe this is something that we could discuss face to face.
