Potential New Venue

Due to the unpopularity of Isaacs and the steady decline in numbers over the last few months, those of us remaining have decided to take the "bull by the horns" and look into find somewhere new for us to meet, that may address the negatives at Isaacs that put people off coming.
Last night a small group of us tried out the Brewery Tap, just a few yards down the road from our old stomping group at the Ship Launch Inn.
We all thought it was very nice and comes pretty high up in our requirements, namely:
Good parking
Comfortable atmosphere
Good lighting
Cheap (no admission or hiring fee)
Friendly staff
Not too busy and trendy - one of the major negatives of Isaacs seemed to be the walking through the busy throng of "young things"
So in order to make a decsion and decide on a venue where we can hopefully grow as a group and be at for many years, we would like as many people as possible to come to another test drive on Thursday 12th November (our normal meeting fornightly at Isaacs will continue for time being - next one 5th Nov).
Based of what we all think we'll either carry on at Isaacs or move to the Brewery Tap, so if you want to be able to have a vote please try to make it down there on the 12th.
Once we have decided on our home for the group, we intend to do a major poster campaign. Groups evolve over the years, and peoples lives do change, but we want to make sure that all those potential members who are wondering where we are, can join us.
Hope to see you on at 7:30pm the 12th at the Brewery Tap, get in contact if you need any details on how to find it etc..
Thanks
