Another good turnout although s couple of Norwich regulars didn't make it this month. Graham, Brett, Adam, Kirsten, Mark, Syd, newcomer Zbys and his brother (whose name I didn't note - apologies) and Bryce who may be on the list but did not know for sure :-)

It was a good social evening with much discussion of forthcoming guided tours to breweries and choice of Norwich pubs for future meeting venues, as well as topics such as programming IDEs, use of FOSS s/w in Poland and so forth.

On the topic of venue it was generally agreed that provided we do not lose the positives of the Forum bar (plenty of space, general lack of noise and smoke, conveniently near the centre and with good parking) then a move to somewhere with better and cheaper liquid refreshments would be welcomed.

After some discussion a pub on Dereham road, known by its old name of the Reindeer, was settled on as a strong possibility although Adam pointed out that we should have a recce visit before chopping and changing the regular meeting place.

I drove past it last night on the way home and it looks large and comfortable as well as potentially meeting the other criteria.

The pub has a new name which I don't remember - someone will fill this in here, won't you, chaps - and it seems logical to spend a thursday evening there sometime in the next few weeks and check it out. Anyone up for this? Who'd like to suggest a date? (I cannot make the 22nd)
