Well, I managed to make it after all, rearranging my Thursday evening plans. I like the new venue. It was spacious enough to house those of us who turned up - I didn't count (damn) - and enough space around to let the sound partially escape, so it was possible to chat. Met and chatted with a few people, but I feel that I probably missed chatting with a few people I should've. It would be nice to have some sort of loose structure at some point to let everyone introduce themselves, or something. Not sure what, and wouldn't want too much, but I feel there should be something. But having said that, a good evening, even though I had to leave quite early. I look forward to the next one I can get to. It would be really good to have these on a regular schedule - perhaps the last Thursday of every month? (Except December ...)
