I agree with Donna and Kerry that Benchmark sounds like a fine choice
- plus it's somewhere I've wanted to go to check out for a while.

As for clubs, I'm a member at the Southern Cross and Tuggeranong

they'll probably give us a room for free), Southern Cross has nice
enough digs in Woden. I can check costs on a room if people think
it's worth it.
