Part of that problem is that people who currently don't go to a meeting due to parking/access/whatever reasons who are in Ipswich won't get a hand in saying anything.
Please direct me to someone who had any problem attending the Ipswich meets for any of those reasons. I'd genuinely be happy to discuss how our venue choice could be improved to increase potential attendees.
We worked very hard last time to select a venue which was the most accessible, and fully documented it (and all the parking etc.) on the wiki. We will go through the same rigorous selection process again this time - in fact, The Punch & Judy is the one venue that could be seen as more accessible than our last, because it's even closer to the train station.
It's possible we could make access easier for individuals by radically moving away from the town centre and towards where they live, but I don't think that would be of benefit for the majority.
Currently we intend to factor in ample parking, walking distance from the bus/train stations, quiet enough that we can hear ourselves, big enough tables to accommodate at least 10 of us and, with a slightly lesser priority: free wi-fi access, reasonably-priced meals for anyone who wants to eat early and a selection of decent local ales*. If anyone has any suggestions to add to that last, we can add those for consideration.
Peter.
* Yes, some might argue this should be the highest priority. Let's not start that ...
