Interesting that the primary reason is the pub being busy and not people not attending because they want to watch the match ;-) Having little interest in football that makes sense to me though. Noting other comments, it doesn't have to be a permanent change... I'll go back to lurking now... Oh, apart form putting an open invite to the Portsmouth LUG meets if you are in the area on the third Saturday of the month. We are luck enough to have a meeting room next to a bar, opposite a train station, so we have space for talks (when I can find speakers) and old fashioned bring-a-box meets (mainly laptops, Raspberry Pis, etc.)... and sandwiches. I post notifications to Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire as we have regulars from those areas, but I've left Dorset as being too far. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | https://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 Vice Chair, FSB Portsmouth & SE Hampshire Branch | http://www.fsb.org.uk/ ============================================================================= Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Ralls House, Parklands Business Park, Forrest Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6XP -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2018-07-03 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:[email protected] / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
