 +====== Pub meeting on 2006-09-05 ======
  
 +Another good meeting I think with around 9-10 people turning up.  Since I have 
 +difficulty remembering the names of people I've known for years :-( , I won'
 +try to list everyone but there were plenty of familiar faces as well as a new 
 +one (Gemma).
 +
 +During the evening there was some lively conversation going on, even if some 
 +of the topics strayed into Windows, PDP 8s/11s, PDAs, mobile phones, baby 
 +alarms and radio scanners!  Still at least George didn't mention George (his 
 +favourite OS) :-)
 +
 +One thing that did come up was the demise of our plans for the workshop 
 +meeting.  As I said on the list a month or so ago, I emailed Rufus, but 
 +haven't had a reply.  There were one or two hints of possible venues last 
 +night, although I don't think the ideals of mains power, space, accessibility  
 +and internet access were ever in the same place.  I've updated the web page 
 +to reflect the current situation, but left behind most of the content in case 
 +we do find a suitable place.  In particular I've removed most of the 
 +commitments made by people to provide transport and equipment on the grounds 
 +that any new venue may make them impractical for the people concerned or just  
 +irrelevant.  However, I've left the commitments to expertise on the grounds 
 +that that shouldn't be venue specific.
 +
 +Anyway, we are formally searching for a venue again, especially now the summer 
 +season is over and the nights are drawing in so if you can offer anything, 
 +please do.
