Can't confirm yet... Jan 10, 2011

Hi Rosalyn,
I currently expect to be in Brazil throughout March, but please keep me on the mailing list just in case there's a change.

Venue Jan 19, 2011

Hi Rose,

Regarding your message about a venue, in the past we mostly went to the pub without reserving. If numbers don't get too high this shouldn't be a problem. When I organised the powwow I chose the Orange Tree which has a large table in the back that can easily be hijacked. Other venues have been The Olde Trip to Jerusalem and Canal House. The latter is really close to the station as well.

So is the Art Organization out of the picture then?

Well it costs 15 pounds an hour. Whilst the location is ideal, the cost is not...

The Orange Tree sounds like a great idea. I was warned that the Jerusalem was crowded or noisy? I do not know the Canal House, but if that is a good idea, sure.

I'll see what everyone says then decide nearer the time.

Thanks for your comments, Mattijs (by the way, didn't we meet at Nik and Fin's a while back?)

Venue confirmed - The Art Organisation Feb 7, 2011

I've spoken with the people at The Art Organisation again, and they are happy to seat us in their cafe area, providing some extra chairs if necessary.

It should prove very convenient for those that have to travel!

I hope to see you all then!

I just realised that as well! Looking forward to seeing you at the powwow.

Just in case anyone is likely to have travel issues: there is an anti-cuts demo in the market square 12-3 (although that may merely occupy many of the Art Org's regular customers) and it's Forest v Hull at 3pm, so expect traffic congestion and busy trains.

Thanks for that, Roger. I use public transport myself, but that might affect some people. I'll be glad to whiz past any angry mobs (political or football-related) in the tram!
