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.
All I'm doing is passing on experience that has been made from the ways we have chosen venues for alug meetings in the past, if you want to do it a different way then fine. I'm not pointing to a specific nature of anything, just a general one and increasing openess usually helps, especially with the nature of something related to open and free software ;)
Excluding people in an arbitary manner tends to split communities more than including them.
