[Talk-gb-westmidlands] October meeting

[Peter Millar]

The City Tavern sounds like a good pub but I think it is a bit far from New Street station. We need to do some research.

I can't come this month, so have fun.

Agree on noise - I'm willing to try a new venue. The wifi will be a plus point as some people would like some hands-on guidance.

Sounds an interesting possibility, though it is a bit further out (I guess 
Five Ways station is the closest or a longer walk from New Street). What 
we've noted from experience is that it's important also that the place isn’t 
too noisy, otherwise it's too difficult to get a discussion going beyond a 
one to one. Also it needs to be safe for locked up bikes. Any comments on 
these two points? 

I'm happy to give it a try. The Queens arms is perfectly ok, just missing 
the wifi, which probably isn’t the end of the world when we consider the 
winter months are very much social orientated rather than mapping. 

What do others think? 

Cheers 

Andy
