It's a no-goer for a simple reason: buses don't always show up when they should, therefore I would NEVER rely on one timetabled bus and one only. Yes, if it doesn't turn up, I could take a cab but that would make for an evening far too expensive. It's all good for people not catching the bus

I'm about half an hour walk to the Uni so buses aren't a problem for me, I can walk it, but looking at the bus timetables, the last U1 back to Bournemouth is at 22.10 (half an hour service until then) and the last U2 back to Poole is also at 22.10 so probably too early?

A while back, we had a discussion re: a venue in Wimborne and unfortunately, the No 13 bus hasn't become more frequent since then. The only 2 evening buses are at 20.15 and at 22.15 (from Wimborne Square) so this is pretty much a no goer for public transport users. You can find the bus timetable

I'd say that as nice a place as Wimborne is that there would be little point meeting there if most people live in Bournemouth/Poole on this side of the County of Dorset. Maybe also wherever the meeting is that where possible an attempt might be made for several attendees to make use of one car
