The Next Meeting It would appear that Tuesday evening is Pub Quiz Night at The Bear Cross, which with the questions and answers being broadcast over the tanoy was a bit of an annoyance for us (and no doubt our conversation was a bit of an annoyance for the teams competing in the quiz). As a result, we decided that next time we would give The Bear Cross a miss. text/html 2008-08-13T23:16:36+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://dorset.lug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=meetings:pub-2006-04-05&rev=1218665796&do=diff Pub meeting on 2006-04-05 Hi All, Just a short write up from last night's pub meeting. These are just my notes and are in no way to be interpreted as endorsing or disagreeing with anyone present. Just 6 persons attended the meeting but nevertheless made a lively group. text/html 2008-08-13T23:16:36+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://dorset.lug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=meetings:pub-2006-07-04&rev=1218665796&do=diff Pub meeting on 2006-07-04 The Royal Oak is surprisingly large on the inside with lots of seating. It was quite busy and noisy, perhaps because of the Germany vs. Italy World Cup match. It's a Weatherspoons pub, so selected beers were quite cheap, e.g. GBP1.69 for Ringwood's Best, but service at the bar was a bit slow, and they also didn't seem to track who to serve next very well. text/html 2008-08-13T23:16:36+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://dorset.lug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=meetings:pub-2006-08-02&rev=1218665796&do=diff Pub meeting on 2006-08-02 Even thought there weren't that many of us at this meet [a whole 7!], it was still quite lively with a range of topics considered, from which is better: Gnome or KDE, to what sort of stuff we could do to make our LUG better and more accessable/ noticed, and what we should do for text/html 2008-08-13T23:16:36+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://dorset.lug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=meetings:pub-2006-09-05-rc&rev=1218665796&do=diff It was a warm evening so we sat out on the patio at the back.

Three of the six; John R, James and Tim, were wanderers returning after a long absence, so discussions centred around what we had all been doing and old times for a while.
