How about Cambridge ?

We're easy for the Londoners to reach (regular direct trains from both
King Scross and Liverpool's Treat) and there's even direct train
services from Brum (incl. Coventry) and the North West (incl. the
'pool); and the rest of the country can reach Peterborough (in which
those trains stop) with fair ease.  Of course, the same arguments will
be of use to the Brummies et al. when they come to invite us all up
for the next symposium, ...

A truly excellent candidate place to meet is very easy to reach from
Cambridge station - simply by heading Northish parallel to the railway
line until you reach it.  The route starts by heading through the
long-stay car-park and under the foot of a very visible
pedestrian/bike bridge; continues along Devonshire road for maybe as
much as 200 yards, crosses Mill Road on to Kingston Street; keeps
going in the same direction as before and, after only a further
hundred yards or so, brings one to heaven^H^H^H^H^H^H the Kingston
Arms.

>> London seems the most appropriate location

This would be because everyone loves going to London, the residents
have no desire whatsoever to escape for an afternoon and none of us
have been there in ages ?  Or because if we settle on London we'll
have an easy excuse to do it in the same place next time, rather than,
say, co-ordinating an intermittent tour of pleasant venues in those of
Britain's towns with non-trivial CDR contingents ?  Or have I missed
the recent revelation - overturning 90 years of theoretical physics -
that the universe really does have a well-defined centre and it's
London ?

Of course, I realise more folk on this list are in London than
anywhere else: but most of even the Londoners will have as much of a
journey to get to anywhere we chose in London as they would have
escaping to somewhere civilised ... I should own up to significant
bias, but I'm sure Julian will agree with my high opinion of the
Kingston's virtues - good food (until 9pm), plenty of choice of good
drink *and* friendly staff ;^)

And anyone who craves a London fix can always get it next time we
storm the capital, in the aftermath.  Assuming we leave any of it
standing, that is ...

   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
nice point.  We can add this to the steadily growing list of honest
terms to use in contradistinction to the industry's double-speak ...

> Hmmm, do we (TINW) need any money?
erm ... any translation of TINW available ?
This Is Not Work ?

and, as I've said before, I would argue that an effective protest
organisation needs to have no money (a stronger constraint than not
needing any money), while being friends with someone who does have
money.

would that be just along an edge from gnikrap eerf ?
