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 isnt 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 isnt the end of the world when we consider the winter months are very much social orientated rather than mapping. What do others think?
