Re: [canberra_ia_community] Canberra IA Cocktail Hours: The Venue Hunt

That's a good idea. Do you know if Benchmark do this sort of thing with
groups? It's a nice venue and they have a really good range of wine by
the glass (we know what's important)... I also suspect we'll be able to
hear each other - something that worries me about other venues, and that
was tricky at Kingos when we started there many moons ago.

Another option would be some of the ethnic clubs. I'm not a member of
any, but I know that many have meeting rooms etc (the Austrian Club has
a nice one, and I think the Irish Club has a few). If anyone is a member
of one, could you find out what facilities they have and what they would
expect from us (some will want us to buy nibbles, some will be happy as
long as we buy drinks)
