<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">It was proposed (& 2nd etc) at last night's heretics to explore alternatives to<br>
the Cumberland for a venue for the *regular* monthly meet.<br>
<br>
On the grounds that the Cumberland hasn't gotten better since being taken over.<br>
<br>
And we fancied a change.<br>
<br>
Bert's bar appears to have a pub quiz on Thursdays (too noisey for chat). So<br>
we moved across to Teuchters (no pub food -- only restaraunt food downstairs).<br>
<br>
The suggestion is that rather than try to pick a pub, we'll instead embark on a<br>
~6 month "tour", trying a different location each month, before selecting a<br>
winner to call home.<br>
<br>
Call it "Test Driven (meetup location) Development" if you will ;)<br>
<br>
Suggestions welcome for future places to try welcome ...<br>
<br>
For Thur November 28th (Thanksgiving!) the general consensus was to try<br>
<br>
Kay's bar<br>
Jamaica St, EH3 6HF.<br>
0131 225 1858<br>

<br>
Note that's also the thursday before the London Perl Workshop<br>
<br>

<br>
fwiw ... for venues ... my understanding of the holy grail, in no particular<br>
order:<br>
<br>
- real ale<br>
- no background music / loud TVs / pub quiz<br>
- serves decent food, not too fancy/pricey<br>
- tables book-able<br>
- reasonably central<br>
- has wifi<br>
- friendly staff<br>
<br>
However, I've little hope we'll get one place that does all those perfectly for<br>
all people.<br>
<br>

ps. it was also suggested we might try a meeting in Glasgow and/or St Andrew's<br>
... just to give the whole tour thing a bit more rigour. Thoughts?<br>
