It’s generally free for community groups.  There are usually drinks, and
sometimes snacks available, along with an honesty cat (kitty) for
donations towards more, and you can also bring your own.  Some groups
get sponsorship for their events for food and drink, and donation to
Madlab.

Well, Madlab’s great, but I do kind of miss going to the pub for a chat,
with all of the groups I have been involved with making Madlab their
venue of choice.

I enjoyed this month’s meeting, as an example of meeting in an informal
social setting that can be good.

I think alternating being talk/coding meets and pub meets is good.
