Rather a spacious one :)...and there's also a clubhouse area which can be rented out. Shiv and Deepa have visited so they can gauge if it is a suitable venue. Shoba is an excellen hostess...that's not a polite remark, either. However,Deepa...will be in Arunachal Pradesh at the time, but if this venue is OK with everyone, I can give the address for people to get their Googlemaps or Yahoomaps or whatever. Being a year-old inductee, I don't know the format of Silk Meets, but I would love to have Silk Listers over for a party on 19th (lunch or dinner). We have held book readings and baithaks for under 50 people at home. If it is over 50 people, it will only work with the "Home is small but heart is large" assumption of goodwill. I'd say, Shoba, if the confirmations are even over 40... hire the clubhouse area downstairs and everyone can split that cost, too. It's a pleasant enough space. > That said, I would beg out of food and drink logistics. If someone else > can volunteer to plan all that, you have a venue.
