Hi all and Happy New Year

For reasons of noise, facilities and privacy, I would prefer a
meeting room type venue over a public bar or restaurant. For my
presentation on the 17th, for example, I'd be keen to use a projector
(if someone has one they can bring - Andrew/Julie?) and I can't see
that working so well at the Kingo. :-) I think if we do go down the
public bar route, Benchmark would be my preference.

I like the sound of the Southern Cross Club, which is also reasonably
central. I don't have any club memberships but if the SCC doesn't
work out, I'd be happy to join up elsewhere that has suitable
facilities.

Cheers
