Apart from not being particularly interested in the topics, the major
factor why I don't attend and go to dinner is that dinner starts too
late.

Q & A was/is allowed to drag on and so did the rest of the meeting so
that it was often very late before the meeting even looked like heading
off. Then we had to troop there, wait and finally start to get fed. It
made for a very late night when I then have up to 30mins on a cold
Central platform for the next train, then a 60 minute journey home. So
arriving home after 1am is a bit late for my bed time.

Q & A should be only a token affair at meetings (30 mins max), then get
stuck into it. Out the door to the chow by 8:45pm at latest.
