More thoughts on London thrust:
To Roger who asked

Or would it be a "get the London list members together in the back room
of a pub and see what happens"? (I'm not objecting to this - in fact, I
think it would be a good way to start, getting a core group of
organisers together.)
Yep, london venues are very pricey - given the respense so far, I
don't think we'll be booking Olympia. I would think a small meeting
initially - I know a venue in West Kensington/Shepherds's Bush - which
can accomodate 15-20 ish people in spartan comfort - ie, tables, chairs,
kettle, sink, etc . A 1001 takeaways are within 15mins walk pubs are ok,
but do tend to frown on younger members/kids. There is enough room for
3-4 games plus spectators.
- last time I was there they had 5 (30"X 72") tables, some 4' x 4'
Boards, and some odd sized tables.
As for a larger meet, watch this space !
