I'll try and be there.

There is also World's End which is quite near the SO (Thistle St?) and was big and quietish when I was last there.

Subject: Re: [edlug] Feedback on a possible venue...


It is going to be impossible to find a venue that'll suit everybody. The 
SO seemed to have most of what we wanted but we have to accept that we 
can't get a room booked.

If we go anywhere else which doesn't explicitly prohibits smoking then 
EdLUG members/the public will make the atmosphere smoky.

This place at Pollock Halls seems nice, why can't a few of us turn up 
there on a Thursday and sample the atmosphere/food and report back to 
the group.

I could be free Thursday next week (15th), anyone care to join me?

If it sucks then the Auld House is just around the corner.
