> Here's how to find us:
>  First, find the OU campus as described at
>  http://www3.open.ac.uk/contact/locations.aspx
>
>  Enter the campus (signposted Open University, not Open University East),
>  via Brickhill Street (V10).
>
>  Take the middle lane past Security (on the left), through the barriers,
> and
>  then turn right on to Ring Road East.
>
>  Ahead you will see the road narrows to single lane on your side of the
>  road, where there are no entry signs.  Just prior to this is the
>  entrance to a car park on the left (marked Inner East Parking on the
>  campus map).  Take this left turn and head to the top left (North West
>  on the campus map) of the car park.
>
>  The meeting is in the south east section of the Venables Building,
>  nearest the Inner East Parking on the campus map.
>
>  Take the path (marked in orange on the campus map) west from the car park
>  toward the centre of campus.
>
>  Take a right under an archway in to the courtyard area bound by Venables
>  South, East, and South East, keeping right (heading North East on the
> campus
>  map), behind the building section marked South East.
>
>  You will find a double door on your right, which is Entrance G at the
>  South East section of Venables Building.
>
>  We'll see you there, as these are usually access controlled doors, so you
>  will probably need to be let in.
>
> If you haven't attended one of our meetings at the OU before, you might
> want to ask for someone's phone number in case you have trouble finding
> us.  If you need a lift to the meeting, please ask our mailing list or
> IRC channel (see http://miltonkeynes.pm.org/ for details).
>
> See you on the 9th.
