Ian and I went and had a look at "the room".  I'll agree with Ian's assessment
that it is kinda small.  I recon 10-15 people max ,posibly room for more if we
reduce the number of seats we have and make more people stand..

Basically I'll summarise the Pros and Cons.

Pros:
Central
Good Parking
Tea and Cofee facilities
Room is Free
no contracts to sign
Phone line avalable (we need to supply an extension cord)

Cons:
Small Size
No Projector
need to bring your own seat (more if you can manage it).

The way I see it is we can move outta Fast eddies and into 1 Havelock Street.
Get some talks going.  Start exchanging Ideas and information.  Then once the
attendance picks up move to bigger prmesis.  The lady at "The Tennyson Group" 
is very friendly and extremly helpful.

I, and I know others feel the same, feel that PLUG isn't living up to it
potential ATM and getting back to organised meetings and disscussions can only
be a step in the right direction.

Yours Tony.

PS: Does anyone know how to get in touch with Chris Cornish.  His mobile seems
    to be on the blink.
