SPUG don't have organised social meetings, every meeting is a technical
meeting.

I think what Leon was refering to, was getting organised of finding a good
reliable venue.

Booking a room is a good idea, but whenever we've tried this before pubs
have been loathe to give space to such a small group. David Cantrell once
wasted most of an afternoon calling pubs. If anyone has any suggestions for
venues that would allow us to book a room, please let us know. If anyone
wants to volunteer to try to organise this for next month then I'm sure
we'll all be very grateful.

Blaming mstevens is a good idea too. He's gone very quiet. I reckon he's
embarassed :)

Well, we *could* have a formal agenda for the social meeting, starting
off my voting in the new social meeting committee, and voting for how
many beers we will drink in the first hour (and what muffins to
supply)... BUT:

We have to book a room. Not doing so is silly, considering 30 or so
people turned up and we only had one table. I blame mstevens ;-) Where
will the next social be? Book the room now!

Not sure I like the idea of 'organised' social meetings. Sounds a bit too
'SPUG' to me. However, I'm quite happy to listen to any alternative
opinions.
